We can’t reach all of Jacksonville on our own. We need help. So, it’s great news that a group of people in Julington Creek are rallying to create environments very much like Access Church—where those who feel disconnected from traditional church can ask questions about relating to God. However, it is with mixed emotions that…

So you want to be great? Most of us do. We want to be respected for our great intellects, pursued for our great abilities, or perhaps admired for our great looks. But when asked, “Who’s great?” few of us would point to people who are merely great at something. Intuitively we know that true greatness…

We are a part of one of the most exciting stories in the history of the human race. It’s a story that has been unfolding for thousands of years and a story that is unlikely in almost all of its details. It’s the story of Christianity and how it has spread from a small band…

Bunnies, Eggs, Chocolate. It’s so easy for Easter to become separated from the actual, historical event it was intended to celebrate. But if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, then our entire faith is in vain. You can’t embrace Christianity without coming to terms with an event in history. A very problematic event. Are we…

Where are we headed as an organization? What’s our plan to get there? We’re so excited to share with y’all this Sunday about what God is doing in the lives of people through Access Church, and where we’re headed in the months to come. We’re going to get there together. Not together like a club…

Access Church will not meet Sunday, March 27. Instead, we will be taking time to hang out with friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers. We’re going to build relationships that reflect the love of God. In other words, we’re going to be the church instead of just going to church. Don’t worry though, we’ll be back…

Brimming with passion and optimism, charged with an inspired mandate, churches open their doors in hopes of connecting people with God. Yet as time passes, occupied with the addition of new programs and revamped ministries, churches can easily lose sight of their early visions of engaging people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this…

There tends to be a lot of confusion surrounding baptism. And while the topic often evokes strong emotions, it is not a subject in which people have much to draw from, other than their own experience. Join us Sunday, March 13, as Rich Barrett explores what the Bible has to say about baptism. We’ll see…

Success at Access Church is defined by how many of us move from large environments into community groups. The community group is the best place for sustained life change to occur. In community groups, we study God’s Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It’s also where we pray, care for one…
