CARRIE JONES
Carrie is passionate about women’s ministry, biblical literacy, and all things leadership. She has a Master of Arts in Leadership from Southern Seminary and wants to see all women living out their God-given gifts, talents, and abilities. A former Illinois* and Kentucky girl, currently, she lives in Indianapolis with her husband JT and daughter Rose Michelle with one on the way. She is a stay at home mom after teaching school for several years and works as the Work Done Well Coordinator for Women and Work, a ministry that hopes to inspire women through conversation and biblical content to honor God, image Him to the world through their work, and leverage their potential for His glory. She is also currently a writer for the Family Research Counsel’s two year Bible plan called Stand on the Word. She serves alongside her husband as members of a growing church plant and is finding new ways to encourage and connect with moms through Mums, a ministry for moms and other women's ministries. In her spare time, she and her husband love to travel, try new foods, and enjoy time together. 

*Carrie also served with the Illinois Baptist Women which cover all aspects of women's ministry from discipleship to missions (Illinois' version of their state WMU).
