Chasing Faith: Episode 15 - Rev. Dr. Greg B. Jones - a podcast by Christ Church, NYC

Born a native New Yorker, educated in the Manning, South Carolina Public School system, and reared in the Westminster Presbyterian Church (USA) and Clarendon County, South Carolina community, The Rev. Dr. Greg B. Jones is a graduate and former student body president of Manning High School. Upon graduation, he entered Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he matriculated for three years, distinguishing himself as an R. J. Reynolds Scholar, inductee in the National Dean’s List, Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges & Universities, and a member of the NAACP and the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., one of the D9 Greek-letter organizations. Being one of three second-semester freshmen responsible for the reinvigoration and resurgence of the Delta Alpha Chapter on the campus, Greg was instrumental in instituting social action programs and activities that benefitted the Winston-Salem community and advanced the popularity and impact of the Fraternity on the campus and the city. He was honored with a Brother of the Year award for his outstanding contributions and achievements.

Because of his love of learning and his desire to be the best instrument he can be for the God who called him to serve in ministry, after completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at Hunter College of the City University of New York in Music Theater & Film, Greg completed a Certificate in Christian Education & Urban Ministry at New York Theological Seminary with high honors, where he was the recipient of awards for Outstanding Student in Pastoral Care & Counseling, Outstanding Student in Church History, and Outstanding Student in Preaching. On the heels of this accomplishment, he received his Master of Divinity degree (cum laude) from Princeton Theological Seminary, where he was also appointed a teaching fellow for two of his three years there. He completed his doctoral degree in systematic theology (summa cum laude) at The Theological School of Drew University.

Vocationally, Dr. Jones currently serves as Pastor of Ministries and Christian Education at The Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, where he served prior as the former Liturgist and Chief of Pastoral Staff for the civil rights icon, The Rev. Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, Pastor Emeritus. He is also a Campus Chaplain and member of the Religious Life Department for the prestigious Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, NJ, and an adjunct professor in Theology at UTS The Interfaith Seminary in New York City.

Professionally, he has had the benefit of over 25 years in the corporate sector in such industries as advertising and financial services, and works currently as the Global Manager of Information Security Communications, Awareness and Training for the Realogy Holdings Corporation. In this role, he is the chief educational professional responsible for empowering over 75,000 colleagues worldwide with information to safeguard and protect the company’s information and financial resources.

Personally, he is an avid traveler having visited 65 countries and 41 states in the U.S., a tennis fanatic, a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and loves all things New York, including occasionally the Giants and the Jets.

With his life’s motto to “Never disappoint God, and never disappoint my ancestors,” Greg strives to live a life that, like Jacob’s ladder, has every round going higher and higher.
