Christ's Church of the Valley:Royersford, PA

Brian Jones, Senior Pastor - Brian's Website
Contact Brian: brian@moviechurch.com

Brian is the Senior Pastor here at CCV, which basically means his job is to make sure the church becomes everything God hopes and dreams it can become. On a day to day level Brian's main resonsibilities are teaching on Sunday, overseeing the staff, working with the Leadership Team to make sure the church stays on course and raising up high impact spiritual leaders.

He's been around here a while. In fact, the day after Christmas in 1999, he and his wife Lisa, their 3 daughters and one seriously ugly cat moved here to organize the church. The church has grown a lot since that time. The cat, however, Brian is glad to report, "went home to be with Jesus."

Brian enjoys coaching soccer, losing golf balls on tight fairways, blowing a lazy morning fishing for trout and watching Ohio State football. He received his B.A. from Cincinnati Christian University and his M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. He says he'll finish a PhD at some point, but that will have to wait until he puts his daughters through college.

In his spare time he likes to write. His first book, Second Guessing God, was his attempt to help people answer the question, "Why does God keep allowing really bad stuff to happen in my life?" His second book, Getting Rid of the Gorilla: Confessions on the Struggle to Forgive is all about helping people forgive those who have hurt them. Currently, he has a third book in the works.

Adam never thought in a million years that he would work in a church the first time he stepped into CCV’s youth group over 7 years ago. From there, Adam worked on receiving a degree in youth ministry while doing ministry here, Missouri and Arizona only to end up right where it all started! Throughout that time Adam gained a huge interest in figuring out the ins and outs to making youth ministry work. He will tell you, however, that his number one passion is for broken students, similar to what he was when he first attended CCV. Adam is constantly assisted and motivated by his wife, Melissa, who also has a tremendous heart for youth.

She received a youth ministry degree from Eastern University in 2010 and is pumped to be working with CCV’s middle school students. She loves middle school ministry because it’s the perfect combination of silly and serious. There’s nothing more exciting then delivering a talk, working with leaders and having middle school students ask tough questions. To keep herself sane outside of ministry, she spends time reading, jogging, dancing and sipping lots of java.

Amy and her husband, Mark, began attending CCV in 2006 just after their first son turned 1. They'd heard the children's program at CCV was outstanding and true to its reputation, it far exceeded their expectations. One year later, Amy and her husband were baptized and she excitedly began serving in the Valley Kids ministry. Since then she hasn't looked back. In June of 2007, Amy joined the staff as the Nursery Area Leader and shortly after the arrival of her second son, in March 2008, she returned to fill the role of Associate Director, Early Childhood Division. Amy says she's blessed to be part of such an awesome church, to have the opportunity to know and serve with so many outstanding volunteers and to be able to share God's love with the children she sees every week.
