Pastor Brad, Kristin, and family

Brad was born in a small town in the Canadian Rockies. Kristin was born in West Michigan. By God's grace they were both brought up in Christian homes. Brad and Kristin have been married for over 15 years and together they have 4 children: December, Isaac, Reuben and Violet. They share a common commitment to Jesus, His Church, and His mission.

Brad has degrees from Kuyper College and Westminster Seminary California. Brad is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America and has over 10 years of full-time pastoral experience. The Jones family moved to Southern California in the summer of 2019 to help Grace Covenant Church replant into a new, vibrant church plant. In March 2020, GCC was replanted as Arise Presbyterian Church but the mission of reaching the community with the Gospel is just getting started!
