Meet the Pastor:

Rev. Jones was lead to the Lord as a young airman by observing the faith of a poor missionary family serving in primitive conditions with very little provision. He was baptized in the Tomakawa River shortly thereafter and began his Christian life. Ten years later it was the mid 70's and he was serving in his first full time position as principal of a Christian academy. Continuing his education over the years found him as professor, then field representative and chief pilot for PBBS near Philadelphia, PA. The circle was completed when he returned to the Raiuku Islands as an independent Baptist missionary, where he served for 4 years.

After returning to the U.S. he went to work at the Redlands Bible Institute. When the Redlands Bible Institute closed, the then head administrator, entered the secular work force. His career eventually brought him to Phoenix as one of the eight national managers for the largest privately owned transportation firm in America. About a year ago he was told his office was moving to LA. At this time he was preaching to four families in their living room in Gilbert, AZ. The baby church, having organized only a year ago used this as an opportunity to build and grow.

We were lead to build the church house in a national attraction affording overwhelming evangelistic opportunity. The building is almost full to capacity every service resulting in many professions of faith. We offer preaching of old time New Testament gospel services to winter visitors and local church fellowship to year round residents.
Reverend Jones and his wife, Cheryl, have been married for 38 years. They have four grown children and seven grandchildren; most of them live locally and are members of The Church at the Mount.
