Rev. Daniel Jones is a seasoned pastor, visionary leader, and social entrepreneur with more than 35 years of ministry experience in the United Methodist Church.

He holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center, a Master of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology at SMU, and has completed advanced doctoral work (ABD) at United Theological Seminary.

Throughout his career, Daniel has served congregations across Texas, including Bethany UMC (Houston), FUMC Sugar Land, FUMC Grand Saline, and associate pastorates in Henderson, Houston, and Dallas.

Daniel is a devoted husband to Kristen. Together, they have three children: two daughters who live nearby in Sienna, Texas, and a son in Washington, D.C. They are the proud grandparents of two granddaughters in Sienna—and joyfully awaiting the arrival of a new grandchild in D.C.

Daniel’s life and ministry are grounded in faith, animated by love, and directed toward justice and renewal.
