Our Vision

FBC Jefferson seeks to be a Christ-centered prayerful church that Embraces All, Worships Together, Loves Families, Makes Disciples, and Shares Jesus.

Embraces All

FBC Jefferson believes that all people are created in God's image and to live in community. We believe that Jesus reached out to everyone he came into contact with and that we should follow his example. At FBC Jefferson, we strive to welcome all people to this family of believers. We have seasons of struggle and seasons of doubt like anybody, but we believe that by being united in God's love, Jesus' sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit's guidance we can weather any storm of life and be a place of welcome, grace, and forgiveness.

Worships Together

FBC Jefferson is place where we believe everyone can come together and worship God. We believe that the personal relationships that members make with one another and with God are the key to a healthy church and Sunday worship is the highlight of our week. We come together as a family and worship the most high God. We worship God faithfully and creatively, using many forms of music, instrumentation, liturgies, and styles. We believe what really matters is the heart of the individual praising God.

Loves Families

FBC Jefferson believes that families are one of the cornerstones of the Church: both individual family units and the Church family as a whole. Because we believe every family is important and plays a vital part to fulfill God's mission, the Church regularly offers intergenerational opportunities for people to gather in groups for the purpose of building relationships and learning from one another. The Church also provides resources and events for families to take time for God each day through devotions, missions, ministry and prayer.

Makes Disciples

Jesus commanded us to "go make disciples of all nations" and FBC Jefferson strives to follow Jesus' Great Commission. Each member is encouraged to "plug-in" with small groups and to use their talents that God has blessed them with for the furtherance of His Kingdom. We believe that studying scripture with others is an important part of discipleship; however, we also believe that Christians should not only study God's word, but live it out. The Church constantly tries to find ways to allow members to take steps of obedience in their faith with God. Only with obedience does ones' faith become manifested.

Shares Jesus

FBC Jefferson believes part of being a follower of Jesus means telling others about him. We actively spread the good news of Jesus not only with words but with action. We are dedicated to finding ways to serve our local community, the country, and the world. The Church has a well established food bank that serves Jackson County residents, a yearly mission trip to Peru (and hopeful Liberia in the near future), and is developing a first response team to help in times of natural disaster. FBC Jefferson believes to share Jesus with people you have to meet their immediate needs first and then share good news of who Jesus is.
