Tinsley Jones was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, and is a life-long member of St. Giles Presbyterian Church. She graduated from James Madison University with a B.S. in Kinesiology, a concentration in Sports Management, and a minor in Business. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Christian Education at Union Presbyterian Seminary here in Richmond.
Tinsley has been involved with the St. Giles Student Ministry Team as a volunteer for nearly five consecutive years, and this experience has propelled her desire to enter into full-time ministry as a vocation. This academic year she is serving as the St. Giles Student Minister through May 2010 under the tutelage of Pastor Keith Hill.
Tinsley enjoys all things games and sports. She continues to play soccer in various adult leagues around Richmond. Other interests include spending time with friends and family, drinking coffee, being outdoors, writing, laughing, and learning. Opportunities that arise to combine any of the previously listed interests are an added, and welcomed, bonus!
