Kimberly Jones, Office Services Manager
Email: kimjones@delawareyfc.org
Kimberly joined our family on October 13, 2010 and serves as Administrative Services Manager. Kimberly’s skills include administrative duties, childcare and customer service. Her years of experience in all three areas both in the non-profit and private sector, complement our dynamic team. Kimberly is a Delaware Native; growing up in Downtown Wilmington near our North Market Street Center. She was first introduced to the idea of God when she was in her late teens while waiting for buses at Rodney Square. During her commute to and from work and school, she would encounter street evangelists who proclaimed Christ’s work on the cross. Upon return from attending college in Massachusetts, Kimberly was challenged by her friend (now husband) to pursue a relationship with Christ. Glory to God, Kim accepted Christ in 1997. Kimberly’s testimony showcases a real journey of how God took time to plant a seed from a street evangelist and a great support system cultivated that seed and it flourished. Just as the street evangelists reached Kimberly, she has been called to be the bridge between children who don’t know the Lord and the body of Christ. She and her family are active members of Hockessin Baptist Church and reside in Wilmington, DE. Kimberly and her husband, Hollis, have two children, Ray and Lillie.
