Gunnar went to Huntsville Masters Commission, a Bible training program in Huntsville, AL for three years and graduated at age 19, moving from there to the Icelandic Film School which he graduated at age 21.

Gunnar has been preaching/teaching on and off since the age of 17, and restarted a youth ministry with his wife just after they got married at 21 before leaving their former church to plant Loftstofan Baptistakirkja.

Elliot A. Jones is married to Hildur Jones. He was born in Portland, Oregon (USA) and grew up in Africa, returning to the States for his teenage years. He came to faith at the age of 14 and immediately began to feel a pull to serve in ministry overseas. He attended the University of Oregon and received a BA in History in 2017. He also served in his church in Eugene as a bible study leader within the college ministry as well as running the set-up and tear-down ministry.

In August of 2018 Elliot moved to Iceland to attend the University studying Medieval History, and has served at Loftstofan Baptistakirkja in a variety of capacities, namely, on the worship team, heading up the college ministry (Ex Deus), as a deacon, and in April 2020, he was voted in as an Elder to serve alongside Gunnar Ingi Gunnarsson.
