Ron Jones

Ronald E. Jones, Sr. is a lifelong resident of Chattanooga, Tennessee who resides in Hixson with his high school sweetheart of forty-six years. They are blessed with three beautiful children and four grandchildren.  He retired from IBEW Local Union 175 where he was a license union electrician for over 35 years and is now employed by the Electric Power Board as an Energy Pro/Communication Technician and the Fiber Optics Trouble Shooting Department.

Ronald is an ordained minister, serving as an Associate Pastor at Abba’s House in Hixson, TN where he has had the opportunity to travel and minister in Africa, Guatemala, Israel, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and several states in the USA.  He serves in Kairos Prison Ministry International where he ministers to men on the inside who are serving sentences up to life without parole and Kairos Outside Northwest Georgia, which is for women who have been incarcerated or whose lives have been impacted by the incarceration of a family member or friend. Locally, Ronald volunteers with Prison Prevention Ministry of Chattanooga and at Silverdale Detention Center.

Ronald knows that not every child will attend college and therefore is very grateful for schools, such as Skillern Elementary, that offer an education to the child as a whole.

Ron currently serves as the school board vice president.
