Pastors & Staff

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. -Colossians 3:23-24 

Ray Jones & Ruth 

Senior Pastor

"When I was attending Mount View High School, I had plans to become a pharmacist.  I quickly realized that God had other plans.  He wanted me to become a pastor!  After 4 years of college preparing for that role, I served a church in Dayton, OH for 4 years and then felt led to West Monroe, LA where I spent 24 years.  In 2019 God saw fit to let me come back home to "Almost Heaven" West Virginia.  In August of that year I became the pastor of the First Church of God in Princeton where I get to help make more and better disciples of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching, and encouraging others.  I love what I do and where I do it!"

Kassie Conner & Jeremy 

Children & Families Pastor

"Kidmin is more than a job for me-it’s a calling! I love children's ministry because I believe every child should know that they are deeply loved by God and created for a purpose. My heart is to help kids experience Jesus in a way that is real, meaningful, and fun while building a strong foundation of faith that will last a lifetime. I am passionate about creating a place where children feel welcomed, valued, and excited to learn about God's love. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child grow in their faith, discover their gifts, and begin to SHINE the light of Christ in the world around them. "

“I am incredibly blessed to do what I do, and I thank God every day for leading me to First Church of God back in 2018. My job is so much more than office work, it's a ministry, and each day has been an adventure. There’s never a dull moment. I truly love my work and the people I work with and serve.”
