In 1986, Bishop Jones left the law practice and entered the process of becoming a priest in the Episcopal Church, graduating from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1989.  He served as the rector/senior pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church in Marshall, Texas from 1991 through 1998, and then dean of the Pro-Cathedral of St. Clement in El Paso, Texas, from 1998 until 2005.  In 2005, Bishop Jones became the senior pastor at St. Andrew’s Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, the founding church of the Anglican Mission in the Americas. 

Bishop Jones remains the senior pastor at St. Andrew’s, and also has responsibilities as a missionary bishop in the AMiA.  Teaching, preaching, leading, and serving God’s people are what he loves to do.
