Manage episode 445155645 series 3607988
In 2012, Jefferson left his career as a biology teacher and began full-time ministry as an Associate Pastor for a local church. In his third year of leadership, God opened the door for the couple to start Surge: A Worship Experience for College Students & Young Professionals. Within three months, the ministry grew from 77 to 160 people to include on-campus bible studies, prayer groups, discipleship, and growth groups. In weekly services, people experienced salvation, healing, and deliverance! The word about what the Lord was doing began to spread around the community and singles, teenagers, pastors, and seniors from the area started attending the service and special events.
The Lord started speaking to the Jones’ heart about planting a new church were people from different ages & stages could come together and worship God freely. On April 5, 2017, Surge Ministries was established with a mission of connecting people from colleges and communities to create an intergenerational church focused on experiencing the power of Jesus in everyday life. Jefferson and Rosa pastor the ministry together and are excited about what God has in store. They live in Christiansburg, VA and have two sons, Peter and Abraham.
