Mission Forward: From Local Congregations to Global Missions
In alignment with Jim Hamrick's visionary legacy, the Northeast Florida Baptist Family of Churches commits to "Mission Forward: From Local Congregations to Global Missions."

Let us unite in faith and action, making a tangible difference in our community and the world.

"The Jim Hamrick Memorial Initiative assisted us in a partnership with Pastor Raul at Casa de Oracion (Massachusetts). This partnership opened my eyes to the needs of the Spanish speaking community that is growing here in Northeast Florida and an opportunity for our church to serve this people group."
