PASTOR COREY JONES
Pastor Corey was raised by Godly parents who modeled, mentored and forged a strong faith and character that is the foundation of his life today. He attended Olivet Nazarene University near Chicago (where he met his wife Beth Ann), and pursued and received a Master’s degree in Theology from SMU, Perkins School of Theology.
In 1994, Pastor Corey and Beth Ann moved to Texas to pursue graduate work and to plant a new church in a growing suburb of Fort Worth. In 1996, as they neared the completion of their graduate work, God dramatically changed their plans.
​
Pastor Corey and Beth Ann began to feel a growing burden to reach out to needy and hopeless people in and around the inner city. Instead of starting a new church in the suburbs, God led them to Meadowbrook in East Fort Worth where a church building had been left vacant. The building was in serious disrepair, but they embraced God’s call. They began with a small handful of people who shared their desire to reach out with Christ’s love and give hope to hopeless people.​​
​
What started as a burden to reach out to needy and hopeless people in and around the inner city of Forth Worth, Texas, became a prayer movement that was birthed from the reality that without the power of prayer, people would not be healed and set free.
​
Since 1999, prayer has been the foundation for everything that is done at the church that Corey and Beth Ann pastor, Crossroads Tabernacle Church. Since then, we have seen many lives changed as they encounter the presence of the Lord. Our church has become a safe place for families in our community to the feel the love of Jesus.​
DR. ROB McCORKLE
Rob is the founder of Fire School Ministries, a ministry filled with resources to help believers live in a revival atmosphere.
Ask what Rob McCorkle is called to do and he will tell you two things: preach and write. After experiencing an extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the church he pastored, he was challenged with how to steward a revival atmosphere.
​
Growing up in the Holiness tradition, he saw a strong emphasis on preaching the Word, but very little training on how to flow in the Spirit. His observation was ministries of the Word without the Spirit will dry up, but ministries of the Spirit without the Word will blow up. The only way to grow up is fuse Word and Spirit, and that is how Rob sustained a culture of revival in his church.
​
Intrigued by this revelation, Rob completed a Doctor of Ministry in 2013. His dissertation discussed reuniting Word and Spirit in the Holiness movement.
Along with writing, Rob travels the country full-time speaking and imparting kingdom truths into pastors, leaders, and congregations across denominational lines.
