About Jubal Ministries
Jubal Ministries is comprised of two primary choral groups, the Sons of Jubal men’s chorus and the Jubalheirs women’s chorus. They also combine their voices a few times a year to form the Jubal Chorus. Each group has over 200 vocal members in addition to instrumental accompanists.
Our Director
Dr. Jon Duncan is the Artistic Director for Jubal Ministries. Since 2002 he has served as the director of both the Sons of Jubal and Jubalheirs choruses. Recognized worldwide for both his musical prowess and leadership, Dr. Duncan is presently the senior professor of church music and worship in the School of Church Music and Worship at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX.
Jon is much more than a musical conductor. His spiritual leadership in the areas of worship, personal devotion, and scriptural primacy are admired and deeply appreciated by all associated with the Sons of Jubal and Jubalheir choruses, as well as the churches with whom the members serve.
Jon has 40 years of local church and denominational service, primarily in Oklahoma and Georgia. Beginning in 2002 he served as the music and worship specialist and catalyst for the Georgia Baptist Mission Board where he oversaw ministry consultants who worked with local churches in all areas of worship ministry needs.
He served in a similar role for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma from 1992-2002, and prior to that, he was minister of music for various Southern Baptist churches for more than a decade.
Duncan earned his Bachelor of Music from the University of Oklahoma (1978), his Master of Education from Phillips University (1981), his Master of Music from Southwestern Seminary (1989), and his Doctor of Ministry from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary (2001).
Jubal Ministries is honored to be under the artistic and spiritual direction of Dr. Jon Duncan.
