SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
WEEKLY EditioN Sunday, May 3 We will celebrate our missions partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship in special services May 3. Our Guest Speaker Kasey Jones is the 24th CBF moderator and the second African-American to serve in that position. Growing up in a small town in California, Jones was not exposed to female role models in ministry. By age 7, she and her siblings were involved in door-todoor evangelism, ministry to the sick and other areas of church work, but she never considered serving in the church as a minister. After more than 15 years as a community organizer and advocate, she earned her master of divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary. She is both the first woman and the first African-American to be pastor of National Baptist Memorial Church, established in 1905 in the Washington D.C. area.
