Are you ready for another juicy reality show? Well, get ready to be captivated by the upcoming docu-series, "Pastors of L.A." One of the highlights of the show is the unexpected dating life of Bishop Noel Jones and actress LisaRaye McCoy. Yes, you heard it right. These two have indeed been dating, and their relationship is about to be put under the spotlight.
According to veteran entertainment journalist Jawn Murray, who shared insights on his Always A-List website, the relationship between Bishop Noel Jones and LisaRaye McCoy is a major part of the reality series. "Pastors of L.A." revolves around the lives and careers of six prominent California ministers, offering viewers an exclusive glimpse into their world.
At a private screening of the pilot episode, an unidentified source revealed, "I was really surprised that they were so open about their relationship. I heard the rumors that they had been dating, but all doubt was removed watching this show." The source described a scene in the pilot where Jones, known for his role as the founder and pastor of the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, Calif., critiqued McCoy's church outfits, leading to an interesting conversation between the two. It seems they have different perspectives on what is 'Godly' and 'worldly.'
Jones, a divorced father of three, was previously said to be engaged to McCoy back in 2011. However, McCoy, who is preparing for the third season of the popular VH1 series "Single Ladies," denied the engagement rumors. But she didn't deny being in a relationship with Jones either. It looks like all will be revealed when "Pastors of L.A." premieres on Oxygen Media in the fall.
The reality program aims to provide viewers with an authentic and revealing look into the lives of six mega-pastors in Southern California. From their work in the community to their personal lives away from the pulpit, "Pastors of L.A." promises to be a candid and provocative experience.
Joining Bishop Noel Jones and LisaRaye McCoy on the show are several other influential ministers, including former pastor and award-winning recording artist/songwriter Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Wayne Chaney, Bishop Ron M. Gibson, and Jay Haizlip. Together, they will share their diverse experiences and perspectives, offering a unique glimpse into the world of these prominent figures.
"Pastors of L.A." is part of a growing trend in faith-based reality shows. With successful programs like BET's "The Sheards" and WE tv's "Mary Mary," audiences are eager for more insights into the lives of pastors and their families. However, not all shows have fared well, as TLC's "The Sisterhood" faced viewer protest and was subsequently canceled. Only time will tell how "Pastors of L.A." will fare in this booming but unpredictable reality show market.
So mark your calendars for the fall premiere of "Pastors of L.A." and get ready for an insightful, captivating, and at times, controversial peek into the lives of these extraordinary pastors.
