Rev. Jonas Hayes is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Tusculum College (B.A. English) and has been ordained for fifteen years. Son of a Presbyterian minister and merchant, Jonas credits his parents, Clifford and Pamela Hayes, for surrounding him with people of various cultures and diverse viewpoints. Such exposure ignited his spiritual and academic interests in Reformed Theology, contemporary and classic literature, philosophy and psychology of religion. Jonas views the church as a place to practice our faith and unity in Jesus Christ – a place where all of God’s people are free to explore their faith.
