Jacksonville Bible Church

Welcome!

VISION STATEMENT

We see a gathering of God's people fully dependent on God, who offer reverent, enthusiastic, heartfelt worship.

We see God's people eager to hear God's Word preached when gathered and just as excited to study and apply Scriptures in their daily lives.

We see a church that celebrates diversity within Spirit-formed unity where people are loved and accepted equally regardless of societal status; a church that is full of grace where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated and the confused can find help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement.

We see a church that serves as a launching pad to the world where people are trained to share Christ and make disciples wherever they are in their daily lives. We dream of a church where we see multiplication of disciples within our church, churches planted in our region, and missionaries sent all over the globe.

We see a church where all participants make four commitments to Christ and His church in the pursuit of their spiritual growth and maturity:

  • A commitment to spending time with God in prayer, studying His Word, and walking with Him daily.
  • A commitment to participate in corporate worship and instruction each Sunday.
  • A commitment to participate in a small group to establish close, intimate relationships and foster accountability.
  • A commitment to serve God and support His church, using the God-given resources of time, talents (spiritual gifts), and treasures.

We see a congregation committed to the development of godly men for leadership in His church.

We see a church where godly men lovingly lead their family; where godly women respect and love their husband and children (as God blesses); and where children honor and obey their parents. We see a church where single adults are offered meaningful opportunities for service and fellowship within God's family.
