Statement of Mission

The overriding mission of the church will be to worship and honor God as we lift up the name of his Son, Jesus Christ.  We are the church, the body of Christ, participating in his redemptive purpose in the world.  Jackson Chapel First Missionary Baptist Church is a local congregation residing in Wilson, North Carolina and connected to the larger body of Christ throughout the world.  We see ourselves as God's agents for the salvation of human beings from a holistic perspective in Wilson first and also for the entire world as we participate with other Christians through cooperative missions.  

We commit ourselves to the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.  We commit ourselves to Christian education and Christian service in our local community and in the world's larger community.  We will work for the liberation of persons spiritually, physically, socially, economically, and politically.  We believe that God's redemption is aimed at the entire person.  We are committed to strengthening the fellowship among the believers of the congregation and doing whatever is in keeping with God's will to enhance our comfort and happiness.

VISION STATEMENT

Jackson Chapel's vision through the Block of Hope is to build a united biblical community of loving relationships through fellowship, discipleship, worship, ministry, and evangelism by following and modeling Christ and affirming His Lordship in our daily lives.
