Session Speakers: Rev. Edward C. Jones III and Sylvia Molo Jones

Speaker’s Bio
Rev. Edward C. Jones III and Sylvia Molo Jones have shared more than 35 years of marriage, ministry, family, and faith. Together, they bring an honest and hope-filled perspective on building relationships that can grow through life's changing seasons.

Pastor Ed is the Senior Pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church, Houston's oldest African American congregation, and the author of the forthcoming book, Choose to Lose: How to Win in All Relationships. He is passionate about helping people exchange the need to win arguments for the wisdom to protect relationships.

Sylvia is a retired dentist, pastoral care specialist, and the founder of Woman Mate Mother. Her ministry encourages women to embrace their God-given identity while navigating the interconnected roles of womanhood, marriage, motherhood, and purpose.

Together, Pastor Ed and Sylvia speak with warmth, humor, biblical wisdom, and the authenticity of a couple who are still learning, still growing, and still choosing one another. For more than 30 years, they've kept a standing monthly marriage meeting — a simple, intentional practice that has helped carry their relationship through every season. Their message reminds couples that strong marriages are not built by perfect people, but by two people who continually choose grace, connection, and commitment.
