Pastor Leo Jones-Morton serves as the Senior Pastor. With more than 15 years of service at UNIFOUR in various leadership roles, Pastor Leo is proud to be a part of the church’s rich legacy of faith, inclusion, and transformation.

Pastor Leo is a graduate of Anderson County Schools and Forrest College. He was ordained in 1997 in Anderson, SC and has since dedicated his life to ministry and spiritual leadership. In July 2020, Unifour Church formally recognized Pastor Leo’s ordination in honor of his unwavering dedication and alignment with the church’s mission of radical welcome and bold faith. Pastor Leo has also enriched his theological perspective through open courses in religious studies at Yale University completed in 2024.

A gifted communicator and creative spirit, Pastor Leo is the author of Glitter Psalms, a poetic collection exploring the intersection of faith and queerness. His second book is currently in the works. He is also developing a full curriculum for Unifour’s upcoming School of Ministry, designed to equip future ministers with tools for inclusive, Spirit-filled leadership.

Pastor Leo began his ministry journey as a church pianist in rural Georgia, later pastoring a small congregation in Pendleton, South Carolina, and then serving as Pastor at Hannah’s Creek Baptist Church in Royston, Georgia. His path eventually led him to North Carolina, where he joined Unifour Church in 2009. Over the years, he has faithfully served in many roles including Praise Team member, Choir Director, Worship Ministry Team Leader, and Minister of Music. In 2020, he was appointed Associate Pastor, and on October 17, 2021, he was joyfully installed as Senior Pastor.

Beyond the pulpit, Pastor Leo is a devoted husband to Alex and a loving father to their son, Giovany. He believes, without exception, that God’s love is for all people—no matter who they are, where they come from, or who they love. His leadership reflects a passion for justice, compassion, creativity, and community.

If you're looking for a place to grow, serve, and belong, Pastor Leo warmly invites you to join the movement of love unfolding at Unifour Church.
