Alex C. Jones Jr. (September 18, 1941 – January 14, 2017) was an African-American Catholic permanent deacon, preacher and leader who converted from Pentecostalism to Catholicism.
The remaining adult members of the Maranatha Christian Church voted 39 to 19 to begin the process of converting to Catholicism in June 2001.
Jones himself converted to the Catholic faith that year and led some family members to join.
Maranatha closed in December 2001 and the church building was sold to a Greek Orthodox congregation.
[2] Jones has written a book entitled No Price too High, detailing the circumstances of his conversion to the Catholic faith.
