Missions & Outreach

Serving Beyond Jacksonville

“God showed me that this church will reach the nations.”
— Sister Mary Lou, 2012

Faith That Serves

Our congregation believes that Christian ministry should reach beyond the walls of the local church. Sometimes that means crossing an ocean. Sometimes it means walking into a neighborhood, visiting someone who is hurting, feeding someone who is hungry, praying with a stranger, or simply showing up when help is needed.

Over the years, our church has had the opportunity to serve in Jacksonville and support ministry efforts in other nations. These are not simply projects to us. They are opportunities to put our faith into action and to let people know that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten.

Mission begins close to home. Our local outreach has included feeding people experiencing homelessness, clothing distribution, community health events, home repairs, prayer, nursing-home visits, and support for families in crisis.

And the work has reached farther still.

Our mission story is not limited to the three areas highlighted above. At different times, our congregation has also had the opportunity to respond to needs in other places.

Haiti Supported humanitarian relief efforts to help people facing serious needs.
Jamaica Supported disaster relief when people and communities were affected by disaster.
Barbados Held a crusade to share the message of Jesus and reach people in the community.

Always Looking for New Opportunities

We believe God opens doors for service. As new opportunities arise, we want to be ready to help—whether that means meeting a practical need, supporting Christian ministry, bringing encouragement, or simply being willing to go where we are needed.
