Phil Jones is a third generation Foursquare pastor.

Phil met his wife Donna at LIFE Bible College and they were married in 1978. After graduating in 1979, Phil became the senior pastor of the Sunland, California, Foursquare Church, then went on to senior pastor the Simi Valley Foursquare Church. During that time, Phil was active at the district level as the Southern California Youth Ministries Coordinator, Men’s Ministries Coordinator, and the Inland Valley Divisional Superintendent. He also was a member of the Camp Cedar Crest Board of Directors and the Life Bible College Alumni Committee.

In 1988, Phil and Donna moved to Northern California, where they established a retail home décor store, through which they planted The Gathering Place Christian Fellowship, Folsom’s Foursquare Church. Phil served the North Central California District of Foursquare churches as Supervisor from 2002 to 2009. Today he and Donna remain intentionally bi-vocational pastors, knowing their business keeps them in touch with the heart of the community, and The Gathering Place keeps their community in touch with the heartbeat of God.

Phil and Donna have three wonderful, grown children: their daughter, Amber, and her husband, Nathan; and their son, Brennan. They take great delight in enjoying their grandchildren, Reagan Sophia, Bennett Nathan, Emerson Philip, and Pierson Mark.
