Gethin and Katie Jones

Sent by the International Presbyterian Church to serve the Church in France

The Church in France been growing remarkably in the last 70 years with 10 times as many evangelical churches now as there were in 1950. However, many would have little appreciation of the depths of what the Bible teaches and even of their rich Christian heritage in France.

Gethin first came to France in 2009 to work with the IFES team serving students in Paris. Having felt a call to stay long term to encourage and grow the Church in Paris, he stayed to work at a local international school and help as part of the core of Chapelle de Nesle when it was planted in 2012.

In 2014 he went to pursue his theological studies at Westminster Theological Seminary, before completing a year’s traineeship in Ealing, London and being sent out as a minister by the International Presbyterian Church.

Gethin served as the Assistant Minister at la Chapelle de Nesle, a reformed evangelical congregation in the heart of Paris from 2018 to 2023.

Katie joined Gethin in the summer 2021 when they got married. Katie has been learning French and has adapted well to life in France.

In 2023, Gethin and Katie moved to Lille to start the work of planting Eglise de la Trinité. 

We hope reach out with the gospel and to encourage believers in France.
