Meet Your Guide
Where Vision Meets Execution. That's Where Dr. Jones Lives.
For more than two decades, Dr. Greg Jones has led private Christian schools, served churches, and advised faith-based nonprofits through growth, transition, crisis, and renewal. Today, he brings that experience alongside leaders like you, as a Fractional COO who's done the job, not just studied it.
Why Forward Solutions Exists.
For 25 years, Greg led Christian schools as a head of school, president, and CEO, growing Trinity Christian from 198 to 415 students, Shiloh Christian from 714 to 1,139, and most recently expanding The Baptist Preparatory School from 485 to 800. He raised more than $10 million for capital and program initiatives, opened a third campus, and walked schools through accreditation cycles, leadership transitions, and the hard seasons every Christian institution eventually faces.
That same season, he began advising faith-based nonprofits, including Finally Family Homes and Oasis of Hollywood, and saw the pattern repeat: most mission-driven organizations weren't struggling for lack of calling. They were struggling because the operational leadership required to sustain a thriving institution is rare, and full-time executive talent at that level is often out of reach.
​
FWD Solutions was built to fill that gap. To serve as the experienced executive partner that boards, founders, heads of school, and executive directors can lean on, without the cost of a full-time C-suite hire. And in partnership with Lonna Gibson of Seven & Associates, FWD Solutions also brings StoryBrand-certified marketing, website, and donor-readiness expertise (including the 7Forward system) so the same leaders aren't forced to assemble a fragmented agency stack to do the work the mission requires.

What You Can Expect from Dr. Jones
Strategic support across every stage of your business journey.
Clarity Over Complexity
You won't get a 200-page deck. You'll get a clear roadmap your team can actually execute.
Truth With Kindness
The hard things will be named, and named pastorally. Diagnoses without a guide are just judgment.
Faithful Presence
This isn't a parachute engagement. He stays close, partners with your team, and shares the weight.
A Christ-Centered Practice.
Greg is a licensed and ordained minister and a Fellow at the Colson Center for Biblical Worldview. The work of FWD Solutions is shaped by a conviction that faithful schools, ministries, and nonprofits exist for a reason worth defending well, and that operational excellence is itself an act of stewardship.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — Colossians 3:23
