A guest post by Howard Kessa of Floulex Web, who built this website.
Royal Priesthood Ministries Int’l is a non-denominational church in Katy, Texas, and it may be the only ministry I have built a website for whose motto explains its own situation. The ministry’s motto reads: “The Church of JESUS CHRIST is Not a Building, But the People of GOD in Whom HE LIVES and is Manifest in the Earth! SEEK GOD 1st!” Right now there is no building. There are people, a calling, and a new city.
A ministry that started in 2008
Apostle Ja’net Reid-Jones told me the story in her own words. The church was started in 2008 in Middletown, Delaware, when the vision was given to her along with her husband, Apostle Ronald D. Jones, Sr., and her daughter, Prophet Ja’nai (Reid) Dare. The three of them serve together as an apostolic and prophetic team, and they have for years, going where they are sent.
Each of them carries a testimony worth reading. Apostle Ja’net was set free in 1995 and was ordained as an Apostle in 2003. Apostle Ronald heard the Lord call him by name on December 5, 1985, and answered, “I choose life.” Their full stories are on the Our leaders page, and I would read them slowly.
Why they are now in Katy, Texas
On October 30, 2026, the ministry moved to Katy. Apostle Ja’net describes the vision plainly: to serve here and itinerant throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, unto the uttermost part of the earth as sent by God. It is a season of starting over, and she has been open about that.
So if you live in Katy or anywhere around Houston, this is a ministry that is new to your neighborhood and wants to know you. The About us page tells you more about who they are.
What a first visit will be like
Because there is no building yet, a first visit will happen at one of the gatherings they are about to start. Here is what I can tell you today, all from the church:
- A weekly Bible Feast and monthly Empowerment Services are the first gatherings planned. Day, time and place are still being set.
- They worship through prayer, fasting, the ministry of music and however the Holy Spirit leads.
- What to wear? Whatever you are comfortable in. In Apostle Ja’net’s words, people come in “a mix of all of it.”
- The Visit page will carry the address and a map as soon as there is a meeting place.
Their week, as it is planned
Apostle Ja’net listed the rhythm she has in mind: a weekly Bible Feast, monthly Empowerment Services, a podcast, various retreats, and an annual Five-Fold Ministry Leadership Summit. None of these have dates yet, and I have not made any up. When they are set, they will appear on the Ministry page.
What they believe and how they serve
I will not put their doctrine into my own words. Their full statement of faith, their teaching on the Five-Fold Ministry, and the office of the Apostle are all on the What we believe page, exactly as they wrote them. Their mission speaks of equipping the saints for the work of God’s ministry, and of God being first.
One thing stood out to me as I read through their old website. The Apostles and Prophet offer to come and minister at other churches without charge, as the Lord sends: an Evangelistic or Healing Service, a Holy Spirit Intensive Seminar, Leadership Training. If you lead a church or ministry in the Houston area, the Invite us page explains how to ask.
About this website
The colors you see come straight from the logo Apostle Ja’net designed years ago: the purple of the lettering, the lavender of the wings, and the gold of the crown. The verse that runs through the site is the one their name comes from, 1 Peter 2:9: “But you are a CHOSEN people, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, a people belonging to GOD.” Photographs of the three leaders will be added soon.
If you want to pray with them, ask a question or invite them to your church, the Contact us page sends your message straight to the ministry. I build websites for churches as my own ministry, and I was blessed to build this one with Floulex Web.
