Craig Jones grew up in Camden, Arkansas. He did not grow up a believer. However, in 2004 he made a profession of faith in Christ while attending church with his then fiance, Jennifer. They were married in 2005. Around 2014 he sensed God's call to become a Pastor. He attended Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS from 2015-2019, during which time he served as an intern at Raymond Presbyterian Church in Raymond, MS and as the 4th Sunday preacher at Forest Grove Presbyterian in Carthage, MS. He graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS, on May 18th, 2019 and was ordained and installed as pastor at Maple Drive Presbyterian on May 26th, 2019. Craig and Jennifer have three children: Olivia, Daniel, and Elizabeth.
He attended college at Henderson State University (B.S. 2004) and then went to Reformed Theological Seminary (M.A. Divinity 2019).
Craig's mornings are generally devoted to study and prayer, and in the afternoons he is often out and about Pontotoc visiting members and friends. He loves getting to spend time visiting with folks, reading good books, and spending time with his family.
Jennifer serves as the Director of Media Communications. A native of central Arkansas, she graduated from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock (B.A. Speech Communications 2005). She works at home, homeschooling and caring for the children.
