Brian Jones is the founding Senior Minister of Christ's Church of the Valley, an innovative church that has grown to over 1,200 in six years. Brian was born, raised, baptized, graduated from, and ordained at the Norton Church of Christ (now Eastpointe Christian Church) in Columbus, Ohio, a vibrant church that never grew beyond 250 at any time. Brian has served churches of 25, 35, 75, 150, and has led his current church through the 1, 5, 25, 50, 75, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 attendance barriers. Brian has been married to his wife Lisa for 18 years, and together they have three girls: Kelsey, Chandler and Camryn. To this day he still misses "fifth Sunday potlucks" and being greeted every Sunday by Bob Berridge, right side, back row, second seat from the middle.
