Central Reform Congregation has hired Tristan Jones as the congregation’s new office manager and membership coordinator. Jones grew up in central Illinois and attended Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in classics, with minors in religious studies and ancient Greek. After completing his undergraduate degree, he moved to St. Louis to continue his studies at Washington University. He graduated with a master’s degree in classics in May. During college, Jones was involved with several LGBT and religious organizations. He said he was drawn to CRC because of its emphasis on social justice, community engagement, religious education and interfaith work.
