Jones (Family Bible Fellowship (formerly Fremont Bible Fellowship), Fremont, CA) and was ordained in April 2003.

He began his Doctoral studies in the Fall of 2006.

Some of Pastor Broughton’s strengths include: Godly wisdom with a good grasp of God’s Word; Effective and exciting preaching and teaching ability; A man of honesty, integrity, humility, and warmth; An effective communicator with a positive leadership style who is committed to serving the elders, youth, and families as the Spiritual Leader/Under Shepherd of the flock.
