JP Jones is the founding Senior Pastor of Crossline Community Church in Laguna Hills, CA. Beginning as a home Bible study of 16 people, Crossline has grown to a congregation of over 2,000 in seven years. With an engaging and biblically-challenging teaching style, JP appeals to both seekers and mature believers alike. While providing a place of connection for everyone, Crossline has a decidedly masculine context. JP's philosophy is that if you reach a man then you reach his whole family. 

JP began his career in College Ministry and served for 11 years as a Campus Director and traveling speaker with Campus Crusade for Christ. For the past 21 years JP has served in Southern California as a local church Pastor. With a vision and passion for the Great Commission, JP has preached the gospel, trained pastors and made disciples all over the world including: Mexico, China, Israel, Malaysia, England, Spain, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, South Africa, India, Italy, Haiti and the Dominical Republic.

Featured as a “Master Teacher” on Zondervan's best selling DVD small group series, Life Together, JP is a dynamic and articulate Bible teacher.
