MEET TIMOTHY PAUL JONES

My name is Timothy Paul Jones, and I enjoy living in the city of Louisville with my wife and daughters. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading several congregations as a pastor and in associate ministry roles. Now, I serve as a professor and associate vice president at one of the largest seminaries in the world, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Here, I invest my time in mentoring a rising generation of God-called ministers of the gospel. I also serve as a pastor at the Midtown congregation of Sojourn Community Church and write books in the fields of apologetics and family ministry. I enjoy spending time with my family, meandering along city streets, visiting baseball parks, drinking coffee brewed from fresh-roasted beans, and eating in local restaurants.
