Jim Hamrick was a man whose life was a reflection of his unwavering faith and dedication to missionary work. Known for his compassionate heart and boundless enthusiasm for spreading the Gospel, Jim's vision was for every believer to actively participate in missions, whether across the street or across the globe.

In alignment with Jim Hamrick's visionary legacy, the Northeast Florida Baptist Association commits to "Mission Forward: From Local Congregations to Global Missions." Our mission is to inspire and facilitate our member churches' active pursuit of missions. Through this fund, we aim to extend Jim's passion for evangelism and service from our local community to the furthest reaches of the globe.
