My name is Olivia Jones. I love God with all my heart, and I'm passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. I have designed and facilitated Bible studies for adult and teen ministries for over 30 years. I have written books as I felt led by God and am sharing them with a broader audience that hopefully includes you. (smile)
I serve my local church in the Chicagoland area in several capacities. My husband, Anthony, is the Senior Pastor, so I am all in on serving God's kingdom and helping our church and ministries thrive. In addition to being a wife, I am a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, and a committed servant of God.
I recently retired from a fulfilling career in financial services. I earned a BA in Liberal Arts from DePaul University and an MBA from Dalhousie University. I have been a student of the Bible for as long as I can remember. I feel honored to serve you through my work.
