Mark Jones

Children's Pastor, Quail Springs Baptist Church

I am the Children’s Pastor of Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City where I love and teach preschoolers, children and their parents. I enjoy speaking all around the nation to train children’s ministry leaders and parents.

I am the founder of Mr. Mark’s Classroom, an online leadership development and teacher-resource company. We help overwhelmed children’s ministry leaders get clarity, confidence and the resources they need to win at reaching kids for Jesus, equipping kids with Bible skills and teaching kids to serve others.

If you want to stop guessing and start designing your kids’ ministry, you came to right place.

Please meet my wonderful team at Mr. Mark’s Classroom. They are such a blessing to me and I can’t imagine serving with anyone else on this journey!!  I love and appreciate you all very much!
