A guest post by Howard Kessa of Floulex Web, who built this website.

Some churches start with a building. Royal Priesthood Ministries Int’l starts with a verse: “But you are a CHOSEN people, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, a people belonging to GOD” (1 Peter 2:9). It is a non-denominational church in Katy, Texas, and an apostolic and prophetic ministry that describes itself as “an international and itinerant ministry, and local church sent into all the world.” When I sat down to build their website, that verse was the first thing I wanted a stranger to see.

A ministry that began in Delaware

The church was started in 2008 in Middletown, Delaware, when the vision was given to Apostle Ja’net Reid-Jones, together with her husband, Apostle Ronald D. Jones, Sr., and her daughter, Prophet Ja’nai (Reid) Dare. They serve as one apostolic and prophetic team, going where the Lord sends them. Over the years that has meant churches across the United States and work in Haiti, where Apostle Ja’net co-planted a church and medical clinic in 2002.

Both Apostles carry a testimony of deliverance. Apostle Ronald remembers the evening of December 5, 1985, when he heard the Lord ask him, “Which do you choose, life or death?” Two months later he answered, “I choose life.” Apostle Ja’net was set free in 1995 and went straight into Bible college and seminary. You can read both of their stories on the leaders page.

A new season in Katy, Texas

On October 30, 2026, the ministry moved to Katy, Texas. There is no church building right now, and Apostle Ja’net is honest about it: this is a season of starting over. Their motto says it better than I can: “The Church of JESUS CHRIST is Not a Building, But the People of GOD in Whom HE LIVES and is Manifest in the Earth!” The vision is to serve in Katy and to travel throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, “unto the uttermost part of the earth as sent by GOD.”

What a first visit will look like

Because the ministry is just settling in, there is no weekly service to point you to yet. Here is what is true today:

• They are based in Katy, Texas, and they minister where they are sent.
• A weekly Bible Feast and monthly Empowerment Services are coming soon, and their dates will be posted on the website.
• They worship through prayer, fasting, the ministry of music and however the Holy Spirit leads.
• The easiest first step is a message through the contact page.

Their ministry: equipping the saints

The heart of this ministry is training. Their mission is “equipping the saints for the work of God’s ministry,” and that means teaching in the Word of God, prayer, intercession, deliverance, evangelism, praise and worship and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are founded on the five-fold ministry of Ephesians 4:11, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, which they describe as “the hand of God” in the church today. Their About page tells the story, and their full statement of faith is on the beliefs page in their own words.

Coming in Katy, alongside the Bible Feast and the Empowerment Services, are a podcast, retreats and an annual Five-Fold Ministry Leadership Summit. If you lead a church, there is an open invitation: you can host an Evangelistic/Healing Service, a Holy Spirit Intensive Seminar or Leadership Training, and the Apostles and Prophet serve without charge as the Lord sends. The ministry page explains how.

Why I built the site around one verse

Most church websites I build open with a service time and a front door. This one could not, and I did not want it to apologize for that. So the home page tells you plainly where things stand, and then sets 1 Peter 2:9 across the page in the deep purple of their logo, with ROYAL PRIESTHOOD in the gold of its crown. The colors all come from the logo Apostle Ja’net made herself years ago, the winged crown beside the church’s name in purple script.

Apostle Ja’net greets everyone with blessings, even a web designer texting her on a busy Monday morning, and you can feel that warmth in everything the ministry has written. If you live in Katy or anywhere around Houston, I hope you reach out to them, pray with them, and watch for the first Bible Feast. It was a joy to serve them, and I am grateful to God for the chance to build this website as part of my work at Floulex Web.
