The District Church - Jacksonville (FL)

Natalia Zherdetsky I attended Sunday service while vacationing, It was one block from my hotel. I was warmly welcomed at the door & had a great cup of coffee. The worship was powerful, the message biblical & inspiring. It’s a very homey atmosphere with a memorable message. I enjoyed the service & if I lived in Jax I definitely would come back.

Tim Duncan SR. My family and I love this ministry, Its a family oriented ministry that loves people. Bishop Thomas and family are so kind and compassionate about doing the work of the Lord and feeding the flock. Ive never been to a church that serve me a wholesome meal like what I receive at Open Arms. Im so grateful to God for leading me to Open Arms. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.. Love and blessings.

Joy Dame The inside is beautiful! So are the hearts.. Welcoming and milti-cultural, multigenerational Bible-preaching , people-loving church... I was even impressed with the youth!

Katrina Collier Every since I walked up in this CHURCH I never walk out the same. I felt GOD before I enter HERE. And it MAKING me a better person. I BEEN a member over 30 yrs & loving coming every Sunday to get a WORD from ON HIGH.

Becca Stegall Ive been part of FBC Jacksonville and its worship ministry now for almost 2 years, and I absolutely love it! Ive never been in a church that welcomed me quite like First Baptist has. On top of that, to be part of a worship ministry like this one has been such a blessing. The choir/orchestra is truly like a family, and the leadership is second-to-none. Every week, we are led in truth-filled, God-honoring worship and get to experience musical excellence at the same time. Im also involved with the Student Worship ministry, and its such a great opportunity for students to learn more about worship and have fun with music. If youre looking for a church home in the Jacksonville area, come visit First Baptist!

hermit_artemis I love my church. I love the welcoming atmosphere and the fact that they are always improving, always looking for the best way to support the congregation as a whole. I love the holistic approach (relationships, finance, mental health, etc) and that we talk about "sensitive" topics that a lot of more traditional churches seem to avoid or gloss over. We are a flawed people facing issues that need to be discussed openly and honestly, and Freedom does that.

Christa Battaglia Pure preaching of the gospel. Nothing added to it. Nothing detracted. Not watered down. Focus is on what Jesus has done on our behalf, not what we can do for him.

Rebecca Porreco I came to this church for the first time on Thursday, and I was deeply moved by the power of God to see so many at the altar giving their lives to Christ, for the first time and for a refreshing of the Spirit. There was a holy hush once the people heard, "We are Standing on Holy Ground". The woman who sang and her voice was truly from heaven. Pastor Rodney Brown reminded the people God is love and the One who died for us loved us first. Blessings! Rebecca

MLG Enjoyed RIver City Church, Jacksonville, Florida. The worship was uplifting, the pastors message was on point, the people were friendly. We enjoyed every minute if the service...

Татьяна This is the best place I want to keep coming back to. The people here are the kindest, most genuine, and truly hungry for God. The atmosphere is filled with love, light, and warmth — you immediately feel at home. It’s not just a church — it’s a place where you can truly feel the presence of God. Here, you find peace, support, inspiration, and real friends. I’m so grateful for this spiritual family!
