Pastor Benjamin Jones
I didn’t grow up in church…let that sink in. I didn’t even know what a Pastor was until high school. My life was transformed while I was a student on the campus of USC. I met someone who saw more in me than I saw in myself. He saw a young man made in God’s image and formed for God’s purpose. After a few months of forming a new friendship with this person, it led me to forming a friendship and relationship with God. From that point on, I was never the same. I spent all my time telling everyone I knew about this new relationship I had with God. Since then, I’ve continued to look for ways to share this experience with as many people as I can. Through campus ministry, non-profit work, corporate america, and now pastoring, I’ve been sharing my story with people for close to 20 years. Why do I do it? This relationship has given me more than I could have ever imagined. While it hasn’t always been easy, life has become more full and beautiful with Him. I can’t help but want that for others. I’m convinced that others around me want it as well, they just don’t know where to look. All they need is someone to share it with them in a way they can understand, like my friend did for me. That’s the heart of Reflection Church - a community where we meet people where they are and see in them what they can’t see in themselves. Together we can transform this world one person at a time.
