Funerals / Bereavements
When grief calls upon us as families, we want to walk together through this time. Our First Baptist Family wants to help you and your family during this difficult time. When you reach out to our office, we are happy to come alongside of you to help in planning the funeral service, whether here at our church or a funeral home, leading the funeral services and offering guidance to answer questions you may have about decisions faced during bereavement. During this special time of need, it is comforting to know that someone is there to support you, pray with you and for you, and walk with you as you plan your loved one’s funeral.
Hospital Visits
When we are sick or in need of surgery we stand in need of prayer. When you or a loved one has a surgery scheduled or find yourself in the hospital unexpectedly, please let us know so that we can minister to you in your hour of need. Whatever the situation, a visit from Pastoral Care can bring great comfort when you are in the hospital. To request a visit, please call us at 366-1236 or e-mail us at pastoralcare@fbcjax.com or click here (link to our Pastoral Care web page to fill in).
Homebound
Do you have a family member who is no longer able to attend church or get out other than to go to the doctor? If you think they would like to be periodically contacted by someone from our church, please call us at (904)366-1236 or email us. We, as their church family, want to maintain a connection with them so they do not feel forgotten.
