Our Purpose

“The Jacksonville Beach Church of Christ exists to bring glory to God through our relationship with Him, our love for one another, and by carrying the love of Christ to the world.”


  Core Values & Beliefs 

We believe that if the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is to accomplish its purpose, then it must be a SAFE PLACE for Christians and Seekers alike to develop and grow in a real and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as other Christians.  Jesus accepts us as we are, and we seek to extend that same grace to one another.  From that atmosphere of grace, we grow and mature into the people God created us to be.  Our congregation’s core values are reflected in the acronym 

“SAFE PLACE.”

Shared love and acceptance

Authority is in scripture, not in tradition

Faithfully proclaims God’s grace toward sinners

Experience God through authentic worship

 

Prayer filled and purpose driven

Lift the mission of Jesus above methodology

All members are ministers

Connected through relational small groups

Ever-nurturing new leadership


   Our Mission

 

 “The Jacksonville Beach Church of Christ exists to glorify God in the mission of helping people everywhere experience God’s grace, and become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”

 

Our mission focuses on…

 

CONNECTING:  We believe our assemblies and worship should seek to draw the worshipers into the presence of God by lifting up His name, and  glorifying Him in Spirit (sincerely) and Truth (honestly).” 

 

GROWING:  We believe that every member is vital to the body of Christ and must be equipped, loved, cared for, and challenged be engaged in ministry in order to be “conformed to the image of Christ.” (Romans 8:29)

 

SERVING:  We believe the need for evangelism is seen in the human condition—“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23)  We seek, therefore, to reconcile people everywhere to God by proclaiming the gospel message and by being living witnesses of the saving power of Jesus Christ.
