Dr. Gordon Scott Jones was installed as our pastor on July 12, 2009.  We called him from
 Wild Rose Baptist Church in Wild Rose, WI where he ministered for the previous eight years.

While ministering at Wild Rose, he received his Master of Ministries and his Doctor of Sacred
Ministries, both from what is now known as Northland International University.  During his
tenure there the church, in existence for 135 years, erected a new building (below)
 and moved from one  built in the early 20th century. 

 

Wild Rose Baptist Church called Pastor Jones from Maranatha Baptist Church of Phillips, WI.
where he was the founding pastor.  Right out of Bible College, he ministered there for nine years.
An unusual ministry of Maranatha Baptist was a missionary aviation school.  The school has
graduates on the mission field at this writing.

Since being awarded his doctorate, Pastor Jones has taught modules in seminaries in
Brazil & Kenya.  He has also visited Israel with a college study group.

In spite of all his varied experiences, Pastor Jones only turned 42 on February 18.

In addition to his ministries here at Southport, he has found time to teach classes and coach
 soccer at Union Grove Christian School.  He has also assisted the basketball coach.  The soccer
 team won the 2009 Wisconsin Association of Christian Schools Championship.
 The boy's basketball team also won the state championship.

If you don't see him in one of these locations, you might try a nearby golf course.
  He shoots in the 80s.

While at Wild Rose, Pastor Jones published a devotional commentary on the Gospel of John
  entitled "Light on Eternal Life."   If you are interested in a copy contact him.  We are
including the preface here: 

Light on Eternal Life - The Gospel of John
Preface

   From the time I first learned to read (which was not all that long ago) I opened to the gospel of
John, and soon after began to memorize the first verses.  It has always been a special book to me,
probably because it presents such an intimate perspective of my Savior.  It is a book of personal
interviews, and one who gives it honest, concentrated study cannot help but feel as though he
has had a personal encounter with Christ.

   This book is comprised of expository messages that I was privileged to preach in two churches,
Maranatha Baptist of Phillips, Wisconsin, and Wild Rose Baptist, also in Wisconsin.  So far they seem
to have survived, and they were very gracious to give me encouragement during the long series.

   The concept of a "Devotional Commentary," at least in my mind, is a commentary that goes
beyond informing its readers to challenging them.  "Devotional" means "used in worship."  While
these messages were delivered in worship services originally, hopefully they can now be a part
of the private Bible study and worship of individuals or small groups.

   The perspective employed in these pages is that of a Baptist Fundamentalist.  Hopefully, though,
above all else, this teaching has come from the Word of God and has remained true to it.  The
reader will also notice that this is a strongly evangelistic commentary which, I believe, is a
direct reflection of the thrust of this gospel.  You might say it is the gospel gospel!  Let me
encourage readers who already know Jesus as their Savior to make good use of the many
different approaches and appeals to lost souls.

as his personal Savior at the age of 9. During high school, he joined the Army National Guard where

College, and then went on to graduate from Medical School in 2008. Steve enjoys bicycling, tennis,
fishing,  woodworking, spending time with his family, and being involved in the Lord's work.
 He is currently working as a physician's assistant at Kenosha Medical Center in Kenosha, WI.

and also composes articles for publication in the Foundation Magazine, a ministry of the
