ABOUT DESTINATION

MISSION

Jesus-Centered

Being Jesus-Centered is having relationship with God, salvation, purpose for the present, and hope for the future. He not only sets the course, but He is the way. He not only gives direction, He is the truth. He not only gives meaning to life, He is the life. We are working to help people find life’s ultimate destination through our church in Jacksonville, FL.

Vision

VISION

Jesus-Sent

We envision people who don’t just go to church on Sundays—they are the church all week long. We see people who, because they prioritize Jesus, prioritize His mission. Our desire for the future is to expand in ministry so that as many as possible will know the good news of a Jesus-Centered life.

OUR VALUES

WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

Building Bridges to Reach the Lost

Jesus coming to us was the greatest missionary act. We will take the first step towards others, we will help people belong so that they can believe, we will build comfortable environments for people to hear an uncomfortable gospel message, we will make our preferences secondary to God’s passion for the lost, we will both challenge and encourage, we will be tied to the message and not the method, we will embrace change, and we will be excited about what Jesus has done for us.

Relationships

Discipleship best happens in relationship we will work to build a culture of connection, we will be authentic, we will recognize there is more we can do together than on our own, we will offer love and prayer for one another.

Serving

Process

Discipleship is not about perfection it is about direction we will give time for life change to occur, we will be patient with the process of what God is doing in others, we will view both success and difficulty as opportunities to glorify God, we will acknowledge that God is still working on us and our church.
