Noel Jones

Noel Jones, a Jamaican minister, is a renowned Pentecostal bishop and the senior pastor of the City of Refuge Church located in Gardena, California. He served his earlier pastorate at the Greater Bethany Community Church before moving to his current position. The City of Refuge Church, under his leadership, has grown to a congregation of about 17,000 members. Additionally, Jones holds a Bachelor of Science in Theology degree from Aenon Bible College and had accepted his first pastorate at Bethel Temple of Longview in Longview, Texas.

Beyond his pastoral role, Jones has made significant contributions to literature, authoring several books that reflect his theological perspective and pastoral experience. His influence extends to the field of film as well, with his appearance in the documentary "Hoover Street Revival," which provides an insightful exploration of faith and community. This multifaceted engagement with diverse platforms underscores Jones's ability to connect with audiences and convey complex theological ideas in an accessible way.

Music also plays a crucial role in Jones' ministry. The City of Refuge Sanctuary Choir, associated with the City of Refuge Church, released their debut album, "Welcome to the City." The album made a significant impact on the music charts, landing on the Billboard 200 and reaching number one on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. This achievement further demonstrates Jones's capacity to inspire and lead, not only in sermons and personal interactions but also through the powerful medium of music.
