Jacksonville Campus Ministry is a Christian community for college students in Northeast Florida.
We create spaces where young adults can find community, ask hard questions, explore faith, develop their gifts, and figure out what kind of people they want to become.
You don't have to have your faith figured out to belong here.
What is JCM?
JCM is an ecumenical Christian campus ministry serving students at colleges and universities throughout Northeast Florida.
We are a ministry of and with local congregations, denominations, and community partners who believe that young adults are worth investing in.
We meet students where they are—in classrooms and student unions, around dinner tables, in Bible studies, on retreats, in our houses, and in the ordinary moments of college life.
Our goal isn't simply to get students to attend church.
Our goal is to help young adults develop a faith and a community that can sustain them long after college.
What does JCM actually do?
Ask questions.
Queer Bible Study
A space to explore Scripture, faith, identity, and Christianity together.
Get away.
Trips & Retreats
Students travel, serve, learn, worship, and spend time together away from the normal rhythms of campus.
Find us on campus.
Market Days
We show up where students already are. Sometimes that means handing out stickers. Sometimes it means having a surprisingly deep conversation with a stranger.
Lead something.
Student Leadership
Students help shape the ministry rather than simply consuming it.
Eat together.
Food for Thought
Every Tuesday, students gather for dinner and conversation about the questions that actually matter.
Find a home.
Redeemer House
Affordable student housing that turns roommates into community.
We believe...
Everyone is welcome at God's table.
Questions are part of faith, not evidence that faith has failed.
Jesus calls us to love God and love our neighbors.
Christian community should make room for people to become more fully themselves.
Young adults have wisdom, gifts, and leadership to offer the church right now— not someday when they're older.
Faith should send us into the world, not pull us away from it.
JCM is for you if...
You're a lifelong Christian. Great. Come hang out.
You're questioning everything. Also great.
You haven't been to church in years. Come anyway.
You're not sure Christianity makes sense. You are absolutely allowed to ask.
You're queer. You don't have to leave part of yourself at the door.
You've been hurt by the church. You get to decide what conversations you're ready to have.
You're not sure you even believe in God. You can still eat dinner with us.
Basically: if you're a college student, there's a place for you here.
Meet the people behind JCM
Pastor Sarah | Campus Pastor
Sarah has been leading JCM since 2018, when the ministry was close to shutting its doors. She spends her time doing some combination of feeding college students, talking about Jesus, answering difficult questions, planning things that probably shouldn't work, and trying to make sure nobody feels alone on campus.
Come see what JCM is about.
You don't have to understand everything before you come.
You don't have to know anyone.
You don't have to know what you believe.
Just show up.
