I woke up this Sunday morning in March 2022 with Rev Jones voice in my head singing, “It was the blood of Jesus that made a difference on Calvary.” I first heard his voice in 1987 and have never forgotten the experience. I wanted his loved ones to know that people far away who never met him in person still remember and are touched by his life of service to the Lord.
May the Lord Bless Pastor Arthur T. Jones and His Family.

Another Giant has transition from labor to reward. Rev. Dr. Arthur T. Jones was indeed a great preacher, teacher, singer and friend. A long time friend is now gone from this place but never from my heart. I thank God for all of the memories, the man and the life well lived. In the name of Jesus I ask God right now for covering over the Jones family in this season. "loveoutloud" Peace & Love.
I am so sadden to learn of Pastor Arthur Jones' passing! We have indeed loss a mighty christian soldier. I have been so blessed and honored to have known him and will cherish his legacy to us all.
