It has been suggested that the life philosophy of far too many people can be summed up in the following little “poetic ditty”:

Into this world to eat and sleep
and to know no reason why he was born,
Save to consume the corn,
Devour the cattle, flock and fish
and leave behind an empty dish.”

Many of us have to ask ourselves the question: “IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO IT?” Sooner or later every wise man begins to realize that life has a spiritual dimension to it.

“That which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” Life takes on new meaning when we ask the question, “HOW CAN I PLEASE GOD BY WHAT I DO?”

Real life means to look at situations through the eyes of Jesus.

Believe in His presence
Buttressed by His principles
Benefit by His power

There is a universal hunger for bread beyond physical bread. We are made for more than a full belly, smooth car and comfortable home. There is a restlessness until we fully recognize God has called us to be an expression of His love, an exhibit of His grace, and an extension of His fellowship.

Join us in that that really matters: Exalting Jesus Christ our Lord.

The body of Christ received a gift from God when Bishop Noel Jones was born. Therefore, it was by Divine appointment that he followed in the footsteps of his father, Bishop Robert Jones, when he acknowledged his call into ministry at the age nineteen.

Although he was raised in Jamaica under an extremely strict Pentecostal traditional system, he somehow escaped the limitations of tradition to widen his spiritual parameters to reach people of varied backgrounds and cultures. Grace Jones, along with the diversity of his other siblings probably helped a great deal. "If I could reconcile and keep peace among us, I can reconcile the Church through the power of God."

Bishop Jones' ministry uniquely promotes reconciliation and redemption, which definitely crosses denominational and social lines. His God given anointing to preach and teach from a psychological-theological platform opposed to arguing philosophical-theological church issues has strengthened and encouraged the faith of people across the globe from Seattle to Miami, from London to Africa.

His intellectual, scriptural approach, and his intense oratorical style, stimulates the intellect of people on all levels of life. This style and approach was responsible for Tavis Smiley flying from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles every weekend to attend service. Many hail his method as "being practical, yet powerful" while penetrating the hardest of hearts, captivating the attention of the restless and convincing the confused that God is able to save anybody.

Bishop Jones pastors the City of Refuge Church in Gardena (by Los Angeles), and upon his installment as pastor, the membership was approximately 3,300. Some view him, as going from "known to well known" and it is evident by the increase of membership well over 10,000.

Bishop Jones articulates a strong statement that offers the only real choice to the problems of the day - salvation through Jesus Christ. While reflecting on the idea that religion seemed to offer no real relevance to the changing climate of the times, he founded Noel Jones Ministries. The primary focus of this ministry is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Word via media resources.

He can currently be seen on BET during his "Fresh Oil" broadcast that airs each Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m., and on The Church Channel Friday evenings at 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
