Lead Pastor: Matt Jones                                                    

Pastor Matt Jones is the Lead Pastor of TREES Church. Along with his wife, Jes, Pastor Matt has served in various positions in ministry for the past 17 yrs. He attended Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Dallas, TX, served 3-1/2 years in Ionia at Restore Church as the Youth and Children's Pastor, served as a pastoral assistant through a Radiant Church satellite campus and served as a facility director for Life Church in Olathe, KS.

He and his wife Jes have 4 children, Caleb, Joshua, Evelette, & Beniah.  They felt the call of God to move their family to this area from Kalamazoo in 2011, and haven't looked back since.  They believe with all their heart that God has called them here to help re-define church in this region.  Too many people have a wrong definition of what church is or who God is.  TREES Church's mission is to help people see a true, biblical definition of who God is and what church is suppose to be, not what man has created it to be.  Pastor Matt LIVES to see people discover their giftings & talents and then be released in them to serve the purposes of God in this area. EVERYONE has a specific purpose & destiny to fulfill and their goal is to see that happen in their lives.

He loves spending time with his girlfriend since 2003, Jes, and his 4 kids. He also is an avid outdoorsman. He loves to hunt, fish, and just enjoy God's beautiful creations through nature. He is a visionary leader with his eyes always on the future, planning and praying for the next steps God would have him take to see the Kingdom of God expanded in this region.
