Board of Directors

Blake Jones

Born and raised in a Christian home, I’ve always known that ministry was my calling—even during seasons when I tried to run from it, God’s hand never left me. My wife, Kendal, and I have been married since November 2019, and we stepped into full-time ministry together in April 2021. Blake currently serves as the Youth/Young Adults pastor for Journey Church in Colleyville, TX. 

We count it a true joy and honor to do what we do. Our passion is to lead the next generation into a deeper relationship with Jesus, helping them discover their God-given purpose and calling through the truth of His Word.
