ADULT BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS

As the name of these groups suggests, our Adult Bible Fellowships are organized to provide adults with the opportunity for both solid Bible teaching and meaningful fellowship with other believers. It is in and through these groups that we work to carry out the “one another” exhortations of Scripture is pursuit of the authentic sense of community that we desire at JBC. Our Adult Bible Fellowships meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.

COMMUNITY GROUPS

It is our desire to help each participant in the ministries of Jacksonville Bible Church to take next steps in their walk with God. We believe that a key factor to our spiritual growth is to have a company of close friends within the church who are there to challenge us, encourage us, and keep us accountable.

We believe that a small group ministry format is the most effective tool for cultivating the close relationships between Christians that God so often uses to effect change in our life-change in our becoming more Jesus.

At Jacksonville Bible Church, our Community Groups are safe and comfortable places to share our life with others without fear of judgment or negative criticism. The major elements of our Community Group meetings are: Bible study-informal, interactive study and discussion with the goal of encouraging the application of God's Word in our day to day lives; Fellowship-personal sharing designed to encourage friendships built on trust and openness; and Prayer-personal, burden-bearing prayer and praise, with the goal of seeking God. When you visit us, please be sure to check out the brochure that will come in your visitor packet which lists our current Community Groups.
