Rev. 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 2000 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. Crossline’s growth has largely been through new believers with over 1300 people making public decisions for Christ in the last seven years. Crossline’s ethos is to love God, love people and have a blast!
