OUR FOCUS
Apostle Kenneth Jones, with his wife Prophetess Kelita Jones
- Senior Pastor, New Rivers of Life Church
Apostle Kenneth Jones, alongside his wife, Prophetess Kelita Jones, founded Rivers of Life C.O.G.I.C. in December 2003. The ministry was later renamed The New Rivers of Life Church.
Both born and raised in Brooklyn, Apostle Kenneth and Prophetess Kelita share a deep passion for transforming lives. They have dedicated themselves to guiding others to pursue the will of God and become the best versions of themselves.
Outside of their ministry work, Apostle Kenneth is a skilled accountant and financial advisor, while Prophetess Kelita serves as a practitioner specializing in oncology for one of the top medical providers in the United States.
Leading by example, they inspire their congregation to live balanced lives with a spirit of excellence in every area—church, work, education, family, and relationships.
Currently, they reside in Nassau County, NY, with their daughter, Kelisa, who plays a key role in the ministry. Though they have one biological child, their love for young people has made them spiritual parents to many of TNROL’s youth, who affectionately call them "Ma and Pops."
Married since 1995, Apostle Kenneth and Prophetess Kelita look forward to many more years of love, ministry, and life together. Raised in God-fearing homes and mentored by great leaders, they now pour the same love, wisdom, and knowledge into the lives of others.
OUR LEADERS
LEADING MEN'S DEPARTMENT
The Men’s Department is led by Apostle Kenneth Jones. It is a group of Christian men bound by Christ, love, family and a love for the Church and Church family they are joined with. As Eagle Men, they believe it is time to soar into greatness, both naturally and spiritually; Soar to lofty heights 1) as an eagle in the world, being the men, sons, brothers and husbands that all can be proud of 2) in the Church, being the best men of God that our God has called and planned for them to be. They sharpen each other through monthly prayer calls and fellowship nights, praying for and encouraging each other. Eagle men also believe in investing in our next and younger generations and spend time talking and enlightening them in our “Boys to Men” sessions. This new mentoring program gives them a greater opportunity to impact and help direct the lives of the boys and young men, with one-on-one interaction and leadership.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord,The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might, He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”- Isaiah 40:28-31 (NKJV)
OUR MINISTRIES
THE TNROL MUSIC TEAM
Consisting of a group of young people, the mission of the Music Team is to cultivate and usher in the presence and glory of God. Their purpose is to set the atmosphere with music, which is conducive to the enhancement of the service and to the personal worship experience. Currently, the music team at is beginning to expand into a full arts department with mime and praise dance. The children's music ministry is also an integral part of the TNROL Music team. "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD all yea lands. Serve the LORD with gladness :come before his presence with singing". Psalm 100:1-2
JOSHUA YOUTH DEPARTMENT
Led by Elder Shakema Knight and Prophetess Yvonne McIntosh. In the Book of Joshua, a younger generation entered the promise land through leaning on the teachings of Moses who walked before them, the instructions of God, and the faith in God and courage to move forward. We believe that it is a perfect model for our youth. Our youth are encouraged to grow in their natural and spiritual gifts, are given opportunities to participate in dance, singing and various art expressions, provided with outlets to safely express their questions and concerns about life in and outside the church, and most importantly taught the Word of God.

Led by Prophetess Kelita Jones. The primary mission is to push women into their God given destiny and purpose. As women, they strive to lead dynamic lives, submitting to the purpose and plan of God for their lives. The Proverbs 31 Women are truly sisters in Christ, working together in unity and love to support the ministry and one another to be better. Through empowerment sessions led by Prophetess Kelita Jones, tea-parties, outings, and even birthday celebrations and family gatherings, they have not only grown spiritually, but have had fun enjoying this gift of life that God has given.
