142 years ago, our network of churches was named the St. Marys River Association. As the mission field changed so did the name. Over time, it became helpful to move from St. Marys River Association to a new name, Jacksonville Association. Then in 2012 to more clearly communicate our desire to take the gospel, to the city through the churches we started doing ministry as EngageJAX.
Every change in our name has reflected a strategic response to changes in our mission field. Today, as we begin to live out being First Coast Churches, I want us to remember why we believe this change will advance the mission of this important network of churches.
The Jacksonville metro area is already known as the First Coast. We believe there is wisdom in using an already known and valued geographic identity that matches the scope of influence that God is allowing us to have through our churches.
