Noel Jones
Following in the footsteps of his father, who was a bishop and politician, Jones pursued a life in the ministry at the age of 19 and enrolled at the Aenon Bible College. There, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Theology, and at the age of 26, he was asked to serve as pastor of Bethel Temple.
In 1994, Jones became the pastor of the Greater Bethany Community Church in Los Angeles, where Jones helped the church’s membership grow even further causing them to literally outgrow the building. Eventually, Jones would oversee an expansion project, which was documented in the film Hoover Street Revival that resulted in a new sanctuary that became known as The City of Refuge.
Now aged 67 and worth $5 million, Jones continues to serve over 17,000 members.
