Meet Our Pastor

We’re so excited to introduce our new Pastor Chris Brock and his family. After spending the last decade church planting in France, we’re thankful for their obedience to God’s calling here in Jacksonville.

Gospel Centered: We believe the Gospel should be at the heart of all that we do as a church. We teach that the world was created by God, that man sinned and fell short of God’s glory, and that in Jesus Christ alone men can be reconciled to God by Christ life, death, and resurrection.

Biblical: We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. They are the only sufficient and final authority for faith and life.

Reformed: We joyfully affirm the historic Reformed faith as expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We emphasize God’s sovereignty, His covenant promises, the supremacy of grace over works, and the ordinary means of grace as central to the life and health of the church, while readily welcoming those from other denominational backgrounds.

Worship: We believe that our calling as a church is to be a people who worship God and enjoy him forever. We believe God is to be worshipped only as He commands in Scripture. We prioritize weekly Lord’s Day worship, where God calls His people to sing, pray, hear His Word, and receive the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Refuge: We desire to be a community where the broken are healed, the vulnerable are valued, and the innocent are protected, and all of God’s people are shepherded as Christ would have them to be.

Missional: Our desire is to make disciples of all nations by welcoming the curious, engaging with our community, and sending those called to the ends of the earth.

Beauty: We seek to reflect the beauty of Christ’s holiness through reverent worship, faithful preaching, congregational singing, and the spaces in which God’s people gather.

Participatory: Christ calls his church to be one body with many members. While He has appointed elders and deacons for ordered ministry, all believers are called to serve, using their gifts, in ways that build up the body.
