For 19 years Raliegh Jones Sr. served as pastor of Greenhill Church in Clarksville TN. He was one of the biggest supporters and proponents of the Black Preaching Network. He found great pride in having a vehicle that allowed graduates of American Baptist College and ministers around the world to meet, network, and keep in touch. I will miss his words of wisdom regarding not only the website but EVERYTHING in life.
Homegoing Celebration for Pastor Raliegh A. Jones Sr. will be held 1…
