Speaker
Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. He cut his spiritual teeth in a small country church where, on some Sundays, the congregation was made up of just three or four families. He spent many weekends with his grandparents and would wake up early in the morning to peek around the corner and watch his grandfather prepare his Sunday School lesson.
At the age of 17, Curtis began to sense God calling him into ministry. Recognizing this call on his life, his pastor would arrange for Curtis to preach at very small churches in the area that needed ministers to fill in on Sunday mornings. God began shaping and refining his spiritual gifts, affirming his call, and placing within him a heart for preaching and teaching. He also brought along strong mentors like Bob Caldwell, William Taylor and John Durham, who took him under their wing, loved him, and encouraged him in his vocation. Through their influence, Curt developed a passion for Scripture as well as a love for missions.
Curtis graduated from Houston Baptist University and served at churches in Northern England, Houston and Irving, Texas. Most recently, the Joneses celebrated the second birthday of their son, Jackson.
Curtis serves on the staff of Living Proof Ministries, and desires to see people come to know and love God through the study of His Word. At Living Proof Curtis serves as the associate teacher/speaker, cultural research developer and helpings create Bible study resources.
