Hello World,
I guess it’s just the season for me to blog about pastors from the new defunct “Preachers of LA” reality show…Remember Bishop Noel Jones and his longtime-love-but-not-wife-Loretta? Well, chile after 28 years of being together, the two finally tied the knot this month…Read about the proposal earlier this year from L.A. Focus Newspaper below…
Bishop Noel Jones, the senior pastor of the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, California and formerly one of the cast members of Preachers of L.A., has decided he is finally ready to marry his longtime lady love, Loretta. The decision comes after being in a relationship with his longtime partner for twenty-eight years and was made public during a recent church event.
Standing center stage, Bishop Jones started to talk to the congregation about what it might look like when he gets older before surprising his congregation when he said, “I decided that I’m gonna get married.”
After hearing cheers from the congregation, the 72-year-old pastor said, “Loretta come up here please.” Once she arrived, he looked at the congregation and said, “I thought about should I give up my freedom coat for a strait jacket? Should I get married to someone younger than me? Should I give up not having to answer to anybody?” Read the rest of the story HERE.
And check out a few moments from the wedding below…
Congrats to the couple, but it sure couldn’t be me…She got with this man when he was 44 years old and now she gets to be married to a 72-year-old? I mean I’m all for growing old together, but not if we’re not married…But to each his own…
Any thoughts?
I can’t believe it took Noel 28 years to realize he was in love with Loretta and she was worthy to be his wife!!!
What God put together may no man put asunder. Congratulations!
Congratulations. BEAUTIFUL Glory
Congratulations Bishop Jones and First Lady Loretta Jones.
Blessings and Miracles

She waited and now she flies and is strengthened! The last shall be first! I’m happy for her! I’m happy for them❤️❤️ I
Bishop is to be hubby of one wife. Scripture. To each his own…
They are happy. That is all that counts. Give it a rest. Marriage only changes your name. They enjoyed each other for twenty-eight years and were happy. That is more than some can say they enjoyed.
I strongly agree with you
I so STRONGLY AGREE. Leave them alone and pray that you get or keep someone that long. We don’t know what God was saying to either one of them but FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. CONGRATULATIONS AND MANY BLESSINGS
🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏
So you just skip over a “pastor” fornicating for decades? Y’all a trip…
Yes! That part right there! I guess they feel that they were married in God’s eyes and not man’s 🤷🏽♀️ They have to answer to God for that. I do my best not to judge. 🤷🏽♀️🙏🏽
Bishop has always been my favorite Pastor and spiritual leader because he has always been anointed. But it should NEVER take this long to marry a Queen. I love you both and congratulations!!!! Loretta you WON the battle.
Wait, did that man, Jones, live in adultery with that woman, Loretta, for twenty some years before marrying, because if so it is proof that if the head is wrong, so are the followers, and they will ALL fall in the ditch! And, if not and that first wife is still living and they separated for sexual immorality (fornication) on Jones’ part, this is more proof that today’s church has become, in these last of the last days, nothing more than the devil’s hitch! Now if that first wife cheated on him (fornication/sexual immorality) that is the one and only reason that GOD ALMIGHTY gave for putting a spouse away! If he put her away, and fornication/sexual immorality was not the reason, SURELY he has forfeited his “Well done, enter in” on that so soon coming, for ALL, Great Throne Judgment Day! Additionally, if the first wife left Jones, and it was for fornication (sexual immorality), she had permission, in the eyes of GOD ALMIGHTY, to do so. And if Jones did commit sexual immorality/fornication, Jones causes anyone who marries him to be an adulterer, and off to Hell GOD ALMIGHTY said the adulterer will will go! It is written, and it is so! We pity all who think they shall tell GOD ALMIGHTY on that Great Throne Judgment Day to “move on over” thinking they run the show!
Why was this man leading a flock if he’s been in adultery with a woman for 28 years?
Did he get married because he got caught? Is the example he is setting for his follower’s sun is ok as long as you don’t get caught?
After 72 years old he should know better. He doesn’t respect that woman or he wouldn’t have been cheating with her all those years and only marrying her because he got caught.
Beautiful pictures of your marriage. Only God knows best.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yay I knew they would. The scripture say he who finds a wife finds a 👍 Good thing. A child of his caliber or anointed understanding must be careful and choose only that the Lord have chosen for him. The women is no lesser part of God but the part in equality that allows us to become a Glory to God. Weather or not he or she us or anyone thinks they make a good couple. Is today totally irrelevant.
There are clear qualifications of a wife I don’t know them all but I’m sure it’s difficult to find.
Awwww Beautiful 🎉🎊
People are beyond delusional. Any man of God would not be “dating” for 28 years. She gave up the best years of her life while he was running around a hot mess. Be realistic.
How can a so called MOG; live in blatant SIN; as a FORNICATOR; & still tumb his finger at God; saying I don’t care what you say about HOLINESS, WALKING IN THE SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT); OR NONE OF YOUR WORD REQUIREMENTS; I’M GOING TO LIVE LIKE I WANT; DO WHAT I WANT; & I’M GOING TO DO IT & LEAD THE PEOPLE THAT CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS, AS THEIR LEADER STRAIGHT TO HELL; BISHOP IF YOU DON’T REPENT, YOU & YOUR WIFE & CONGREGATION, THE LORD WILL SURE SAY THAT HE NEVER NEW YOU.
GOD IS LONG SUFFERING, BECAUSE HE GAVE ME ROOM TO REPENT, I DID, DO THE SAME & GET (SAVED).
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH FOR 30/40 YEARS & SEE THIS MAN LIVE HIS LIFE CONTRARY TO TO WILORD OF GOD…..HE MUST TRULY BE PIPE THE PIPER; REPENT, REPENT, REPENT THAT YOUR SOULS WILL BE SAVED
