Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor 
especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.  1 Timothy 5:17 
Pastor Lloyd B. Jones was a man who talked and walked 
with God. 
He was bom on June 29, 1924 in Evans County, Georgia to 
the late Albert and Ezia Jones. He was the eldest of six 
children; two siblings preceded him in death, Robert Jones 
and Juanita Benjamin. 
As a young boy he worked with his father on the farm. In 
1942 he enlisted in the United States Army. On October 13, 
1943 he was united in holy matrimony to the former 
Thelma Lucille Whitfield. There were eight children bom 
of this union. One of which preceded him in death, Donald. 
In 1953, L.B. (as he was called) and his family moved to 
New York City. There he held many jobs. In 1957 he was 
bom a second time, this time unto Salvation. Shortly after 
his conversion God called him into the Ministry which 
spanned forty nine years. In this time he pastored four 
churches; First Church of God, Jamaica, New York, 
United Community Church of Laurelton, New York, 
Glenville Church of God, Glenville, Georgia, and the 
Wabash Church of God in Dublin, Georgia where he was 
pastoring at he time of his death. Also, he served as 
Assistant Pastor of Church of God Mission in Springfield 
Gardens, New York City. 
During his pastorate he attended and graduated from Bethel 
Baptist Bible Institute and also took correspondent courses 
at Anderson, Indiana and Bible Institute of the Church of 
God Ministral Alliance, New York City. He served as a 
Bible Teacher and Radio Preacher for many years. He was 
also a dedicated servant to the Nursing Home Ministries. 
Pastor Jones was a people person. He touched the lives of 
everyone he met. He was truly a great husband, father and 
pastor. His life was an example to his wife, children, 
grandchildren, church members, fellow ministers and all 
who knew him. 
Pastor Jones touched many many lives and was loved by 
all. He lived the life he preached. He has come to the end 
of his row. He stood the test and he has finished the task 
he set out to do. He will now take his rest. 
He ended his journey on November 22, 2006. He leaves to 
cherish his memory; a loving and devoted wife of 63 years,

'Fee 
Dont grieve for me for now Im free. 
Im following the path God laid for me. 
I took his hand when I heard him call 
I turned my back and left it all 
I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, 
To work or play 
Lift up your hearts and share with me. 
God wanted me now. He Set Me Free
