McKay V. Jones received a B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1999 in English Teaching, and has taught junior high and high school English and coached baseball for eight years. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Germany Hamburg Mission, and presented at the 2009 FAIR Conference in Frankfurt, Germany. McKay has published three lengthy papers through FAIR. He has written, organized, and directed three community firesides in his stake that have drawn over 130 non-LDS attendees, covering topics such as claims that Mormons aren’t Christian, evidences for the Book of Mormon, claims about “false” Mormon prophecies, polygamy, and pre-1978 priesthood and temple restrictions (a fourth fireside will cover the Book of Abraham). McKay has made a lengthy index for the 26 volume Journal of Discourses and is writing books covering over 100 apologetic, historical, doctrinal, and devotional topics from Journal of Discourses. He and his wife, the former Suzanne Phillips, have four children, and McKay currently serves as a bishop in the Church.
