Welcome from Brett Maragni, Senior Pastor
Home - > New to Harvest? - Welcome from the Senior Pastor
On behalf of the wonderful people of Harvest Bible Chapel of Jacksonville, I would like to thank you for stopping by the Harvest website. As you navigate this site,
we hope you'll discover something special and meaningful for your life.
A lot of folks hear about us and ask what type of church we are. In a phrase, Harvest is “contemporary without compromise.” Harvest is
an evangelical, Bible-based church with a contemporary style of worship
and a straight-forward approach to Biblical teaching. We seek to honor the
Lord through developing disciples of Jesus Christ who worship Christ,
walk with Christ, work for Christ, and witness for Christ.
Harvest is composed of an increasingly diverse group of believers from varied ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. We are grateful for the richness of our increasing diversity and our unity in Christ.
We are a part of an exciting
network of churches known as the Harvest Bible Fellowship, which
currently consists of over 70 churches worldwide (and rapidly growing).
We also support the largest missions organization in the world, the SBC, which supports over 10,000 missionaries, along with funding theological education, world hunger relief, and disaster relief.
Every Harvest Bible Chapel is built upon the Four Pillars of Harvest:
- Proclaiming the Authority of God's Word without Apology (2 Tim. 4:2)
- Lifting High the Name of Jesus in Worship (John 4:24)
- Believing Firmly in the Power of Prayer (Eph. 6:18)
- Sharing the Good News of Jesus with Boldness (Eph. 6:19-20)
Continue to browse our website ... see what we're all about. If you
live in our geographical area (Northeast Florida), we encourage and
welcome you to visit with us personally—either during
one of our worship times or during the week.
When my wife, Lacey, and I first dreamed of starting this new church we knew that it was not just our dream. We knew that it was really God's dream and that He would be sharing that dream with many other people. Many are coming on board and perhaps you will too!
Above all, we desire and pray that you will consider your
all-important relationship with the Lord. And we encourage you to click
on "Who is Jesus?" portion of our website to confirm that your
relationship with Him is Biblical.
We meet every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the Regal Avenues 20 Cinemas
on Philips Highway, just a mile north of the Avenues Mall. I hope to
see you soon.
May God bless you.
