Michael Jones: Lessons from 20 Years of Youth Ministry and 35+ Years of Friendship

I think I was 3 years old when I met Michael Jones. And we've been besties ever since. We've had a ton in common over the years: Star Wars action figures, movies, professional wrestling, sports and shenanigans... but unexpectedly we also both ended up becoming Pastors too! Definitely not the path we expected to take when were cruising around Alta Loma in his sweet ass Camaro during the Great Toilet Paper War of 1998.

Michael is the Family Pastor for Granite Creek Community Church in Claremont, California but he's also led Youth and helped out with Digital. He is a super creative and amazing guy who has been in the Youth trenches for a long time. His perspective on what kids and teens need during the pandemic and after are incredibly valuable. Michael brings a ton of wisdom for anyone who has served at a church or been on a church staff and what it looks like to create healthy spiritual communities where you are. Truly, Michael is an amazing man and someone who has taught me about what it means to be better on the inside.
