Pastor Robert Allen Jones, is a very energetic, compassionate, anointed and beloved pastor.  His messages from the pulpit are delivered with the love of God and portray God’s never-ending commitment to His children. Pastor Jones has a deep and sincere understanding of the needs of people: spiritually and physically. He ministers with a gentle, yet stern word. Elder Jones always has an in-season word for God’s flock. He often says, “As far as being a Pastor is concerned, I am the manager, but God is the Owner.” He takes his Pastoral duties very seriously.

Pastor Jones met the love of his life and best friend, Iwanna Denise Johnson in 1987. They were united in marriage on June 27, 1992. To this union, God has blessed them with two beautiful gifts – Amari Gabrielle and Jeremiah Allen.

Pastor Jones was called into the ministry during his high school years. His secular educational portfolio includes:  Columbus Technical Institute and Troy State University.  He was also a scholar of the First Born Church of the Living God, Inc. Seminary school from 1990-1995.  Pastor Jones served in the United States Armed Forces Reservist as a dietician from 1990-1996.

As a new convert in the body of Christ, He served earnestly at Nazareth Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Robert Holston. He worked diligently on several committees such as the Program Committee, Senior Choir member, Young Adult Choir President, Usher and Youth Leader. He was released and confirmed in his ministry as preacher of God’s Word in the year of 1987 under the leadership of Bishop Robert Williams, Sr. at Evangel Temple FBC of the Living God, Inc. He served as Broadcast Minister, Youth Pastor, Choir member and Usher. Elder Jones served as the Alabama District Youth Council President of the First Born Church from 1990 -1999. He was ordained as Elder in October 1995 under the auspices of the First Born Church of the Living God, Inc. He is presently a covenant partner, since October of 2001, with the Faith Outreach Christian Life Center in Hephzibah, Georgia, where his spiritual father, Bishop Richard B. Peoples is the Senior Pastor.

Pastor Jones is prolific in the area of Outreach ministry which includes prison ministry, convalescence homes and street evangelism.  In April of 1995, Pastor Jones received his first assignment as pastor at Calcis FBC, in Calcis, Alabama. Many great accomplishments were achieved. The church membership grew, the church sanctuary was remodeled and revitalization was brought back to the parishioners of that ministry.  Proving to be faithful to this work, God promoted and released him to establish a ministry in Columbus, GA.  In September of 1996, Pastor Jones founded One Way Deliverance First Born Church of the Living God, Inc.  Pastor Jones began this ministry in the Days Inn Hotel on Victory Drive. One month later, the ministry moved to the location of 6880 Hunter Road in Columbus, Georgia. Under this mans leadership, God blessed us in January 2000 to move to our present location 2970 MLK Boulevard and thus One Way Deliverance Family Worship Ministries, Inc. was born.  We are now moving into the next phase of the vision by building a new edifice on the land that we currently occupy and also establishing a Youth Recreation Center at our Phenix City, AL location.  

The vision is constantly increasing and gaining momentum.  Under the auspicious leadership of Pastor Jones,  the kingdom of God will be advanced and established on earth and One Way Deliverance Family Worship Ministries will continue to accelerate in excellence by making disciples of Jesus Christ and showing the world the love of God through ministry and evangelism.
