About Us

 

We are a church that is experiencing life and love through knowing Jesus Christ.  

Our vision is....

We are going to break through all limits to lead the hurting to Christ, train every believer to be more like Christ, and strengthen each family to establish godly homes. 

When you attend one of our services, you can expect a strong emphasis on the Word of God, worship, and prayer.  You will also find a strong emphasis on reaching people with the love of Jesus Christ.  

Our church has been sharing love and hope in Jacksonville and the surrounding region for 85 years. We have a strong commitment to our community and those who live in it. Join us this Sunday and see if City Church is the right church for you.
