HISTORY
A story of life together in the grace of God
Planted in 1984, Christ Church has a strong heritage of in-depth expository preaching, inter-generational community life, thoughtful worship, and engagement with local and international mission. While our city and congregation have changed since the 1980’s, our commitment to these values has not. Today, we build upon the good foundations laid at the beginning of our life together.
As an evangelical church, we are committed to advancing the claims of Jesus throughout our city and around the world. Over the years, we’ve supported large numbers of foreign missionaries and contributed significantly to start new churches in our Presbytery.
Most recently, we’ve planted two churches – Christ Church East (2010) and Christ Church InTown (2014) – in order to further populate Jacksonville with gospel-centered communities. These congregations, launching with significant core groups, are flourishing in their gospel witness.
In his grace, God has rewarded our sacrifices at Christ Church to start new churches, sending many new families and young children into our midst. We are excited by the good work God is doing among us, renewing us in our worship, obedience to him, and mission to our city. The rich traditions established over thirty years ago continue to provide a wonderful home we call Christ Church today.
