Pas­tor & Sis­ter Jones

Pas­tor & Sis­ter Jones, Bricen, and JoAnna

Pas­tor and Sis­ter Brian Jones were elected as pas­tor of Bryan United Pen­te­costal Church on Sep­tem­ber 8, 2005. Since that time, they have dili­gently worked to bring a revival atmos­phere in the church by cul­ti­vat­ing a cli­mate of unity, prayer, and evan­ge­lism. It is their sin­cere desire to see God’s will done in this local church, as well as to make a sig­nif­i­cant spir­i­tual impact in the entire Bryan and Col­lege Sta­tion communities.

Min­is­te­r­ial Background

Prior to accept­ing the pas­torate of Bryan UPC, the Jones’ have devoted their entire lives to min­istry and the work of God. Pas­tor Jones was born and raised in Tulsa, Okla­homa, where he first entered the min­istry by serv­ing in his local church under Elder Gary Howard. From there, Pas­tor Jones stepped out in faith as a full-time evan­ge­list, and has preached in churches all across the United States, as well as over­seas, and has suc­cess­fully evan­ge­lized for extended peri­ods of time through­out his ministry.

Pas­tor Jones has also served in var­i­ous pas­toral capac­i­ties, includ­ing Youth/Associate Pas­tor at Revival Cen­ter UPC in Modesto, Cal­i­for­nia, as Pas­tor of Chris­t­ian Growth Cen­ter in Pueblo, Colorado, and as Assis­tant Pas­tor at First Pen­te­costal Church in Col­orado Springs, Col­orado. We are blessed to have a pas­tor with his expe­ri­ence, con­se­cra­tion, and com­mit­ment to purely Apos­tolic revival.

Sis­ter Doretha Jones was raised in a pastor’s home, Pas­tor and Sis­ter J. J. Bourn, and though she trav­eled exten­sively with her father’s evan­ge­lis­tic min­istry, she spent most of her youth in Hous­ton, Texas, where her father pas­tored Irv­ing­ton Pen­te­costal Church. Sis­ter Jones grad­u­ated from Jack­son Col­lege of Min­istries with a degree in Music, and her musi­cal tal­ents have been used exten­sively to lead con­gre­ga­tions in Apos­tolic praise and wor­ship and develop musi­cians nation­wide. Bryan UPC is blessed to have her lead our music, as well as train and develop our local musicians.

The Jones Family

Dil­lon Jones in Sep­tem­ber 2003

Pas­tor and Sis­ter Jones were mar­ried on June 24, 1995, and have three beau­ti­ful chil­dren — Dil­lon, Bricen, and JoAnna. Their first son, Dil­lon, was born in Modesto in 1998. Just after turn­ing 3 years old and while liv­ing in Col­orado, the Jones’ trag­i­cally dis­cov­ered that Dil­lon had can­cer. After 22 months of exten­sive treat­ments and endur­ing the trial of their lives, the Lord took Dil­lon home on Sep­tem­ber 23, 2003. Since then, the Lord has blessed Pas­tor and Sis­ter Jones with Bricen and JoAnna — two beau­ti­ful chil­dren who are “actively” involved at Bryan UPC. Though Dil­lon is absent in body, his influ­ence and love is fondly felt through his par­ents’ ministry.
