Ministers
Samuel G. Jones
Senior Minister
Bro. Samuel Jones came to faith in Christ and was baptized into the Lord at the age of eight years old while attending the Dalworth Park church of Christ, formerly known as the Sherman Street church of Christ. He was raised at the same congregation until leaving to enter the United States Air Force at the age of seventeen. While in the Military he moved around the world to various military instillation until finally being stationed at Shaw Air Force base in Sumter, South Carolina where he met and married his wife, Joyce Capers Jones, in 1984. They have two adult sons, Colin and Avery. Samuel entered the ministry in 1983 as a youth minister and eventually separated from the military at which time he received his formal education in the ministry at the Southeast Institute of Biblical Studies, formerly known as the East Tennessee School of Preaching and Missions. Samuel returned to South Carolina upon completing his education and established the Evans Street church of Christ in Florence, South Carolina. In 1993 he and his family returned to Texas and began worshiping at the Dalworth Park congregation. In 1997 Samuel became the Senior Minister of the congregation after the tragic death of the former minister, Louis C. Harris. Samuel’s guiding scripture is Galatians 4:19 “My little children, for whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” Samuel’s greatest desire is to see members of the body becoming like Christ and works to that end along with a passion for seeing people come to Christ.
