Often described as “the worship leader’s worship leader,” Benita Jones carries a distinct mantle that blends artistry, pastoral depth, and spiritual authority. Born in Selma, Alabama, Benita is a singer-songwriter whose call to serve the Lord was evident early in life—shaping a ministry rooted not in performance, but in presence.

Her voice and leadership have graced stages alongside gospel luminaries such as CeCe Winans, Juanita Bynum, Donnie McClurkin, and Judith McAllister, among others. A Stellar Award–nominated artist with five projects to her credit (formerly recording as Benita Washington), Jones has traveled internationally preaching and singing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, while remaining deeply committed to the work of the local church.

Her service spans roles as worship leader, worship pastor, and technical director—demonstrating a rare ability to steward both the spiritual and structural dimensions of worship ministry. Beyond the platform, Benita is the visionary behind evolveU Worship Gathering, a transformative conference designed to empower, equip, and refresh music ministries through practical instruction and intentional encounters with God.

A devoted mother of two, Benita Jones continues to lead with authenticity, wisdom, and reverence—shaping worshippers, leaders, and spaces where God’s presence is not only invited, but sustained.
