Our Story
Our heart, our vision, and the days ahead.
OUR STORY
JAX United began in 2019 after two years of prayer, vision-casting, and meeting with local worship and lead pastors serving in Jacksonville, Florida. Over the past five years, we have held over fifteen worship and prayer events and grown to include fifteen connected churches. These events have had more than one hundred churches represented in attendance.
The reach of JAX United has been further extended through the streaming of our worship events and releasing content on listening platforms. The impact was incredible from the very beginning and we’ve been amazed to see God working through this movement to bring people into His presence.
THE MISSION OF JAX UNITED
Our mission is to see the church of Northeast Florida come together to worship Jesus, join in prayer for revival in our communities, and reflect the hope of the Gospel by serving outside the church walls.
Through unity in worship, prayer, and service, we believe God is glorified and our city is impacted.
OUR VISION
JAX United is continually moving toward a deeper level of outreach to the local church community: to connect church leaders, worship teams, and congregations through events. We do this to draw them together, provide opportunities to find hope and healing, and a call toward active unity to serve the broader local community through worship and service.
The mission of JAX United is bigger than any one person. It is about all of us coming together as one body, with one unified voice, honoring God as the one, true King. We are responding to this call over the next two year by focusing on three initiatives:
-
Expand Our Worship Nights
By increasing outreach to our community to make them aware of these events, we will be able to engage more churches and denominations to participate. We also hope to create a focused kids experience that teaches about unity from the youngest age!
-
Host a Pastors Retreat
Did you know that 70% of lead pastors battle depression? This retreat will be a time for lead pastors and their spouses to get away with other pastors and be renewed, ministered to, and inspired. Our goal is that they would return to their churches strengthened in mind and heart for the next season of ministry!
-
Hold the First JAX United Conference
With different voices from different backgrounds, joined together in unity, this multi-day event will include worship, breakout sessions, messages from local pastors, and resources to equip us to positively impact our community.
THE IMPACT
We experienced the powerful impact Jax United can have on the people in our community through Lydia’s story. It is a story of what God can do when we come together in prayer and worship. Watch this video to hear her testimony.
