About Me

---

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. 

Currently, I am helping to facilitate a two-year chronological read through the Bible with members of my church and other believers. I enjoy studying with this amazing group.

I am also working to produce my original stage play titled, "The Waiting Room". I am excited to return to "ministry theater" where I share God's Word on the stage. I'll provide more information on this production in the coming months. 

In addition to reading through the Old Testament, I am reading the books below. 

Irresistible:

Eat This and Live!

by Don Colbert, MD

Mama B: A Time to Love

by Michelle Stimpson

(I'm hooked on the series!)

Recommendations?

I like nonfiction books that strengthen my faith and expand my knowledge. I also enjoy fiction books that make me laugh or take me on an engaging journey.
