Renewing The Church

Looking Towards Resurrection

Since coming to South Jacksonville Presbyterian Church, I've watched a church convinced that it was on its way to dying, seeking resurrection and renewal.

It's meant tearing down many buildings, rethinking our mission to our community, and reflecting that down to the very last brick.

This video explains why I think church still matters and why the way SJPC is doing church matters as well.

We've had opportunities to reach out to the San Marco community to explain what it means to be faithful in our renewal of the church:
