Join us for a 6-week Midweek Series on “His Mercy” held on Wednesdays until October 15th. This interactive bible study series will explore how God’s mercy transforms us into people who extend His Mercy to people in need.

We’ll explore ways we can share God’s mercy through our families, careers, and communities. Classes are held 7:00 pm Wednesdays in person in the Jax Church Annex and online via Zoom. Notes, recordings, and other materials will be posted on the Jax Church Teaching website.
