Purpose:
To share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the women of Jacksonville through the timely messages of inspirational Christian speakers.
Our History:
Years ago, four brave, trailblazing women sat around a kitchen table, daring to dream big. Their vision was to have a luncheon with a nationally known Christian speaker and make all this available for every woman in the Jacksonville area. These four women pooled their resources, and the dream became a reality. Almost four decades later, Women for Christ is going strong and growing every day. Our speakers over the years include Jan Karon, Carol Kent, Lisa Harper, Jennifer Rothschild, Liz Curtis Higgs, Pam Tebow, and Sheila Walsh.
WFC is not affiliated with any one church. Our board and members represent dozens of churches in our area. We are proud of our history in Jacksonville, and we look forward to continuing to serve present and future generations of women … for Christ.
Statement of Faith:
We Believe:
- There is only one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28: 19)
- Jesus Christ is God (John 10:30). He was born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7: 14, Matthew 1:23), lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), died as a substitute for fallen man (II Corinthians 5:21, I Peter 3: 18), arose bodily (Matthew 28: 1-10), ascended to Heaven (Acts 1:9-11), and will return to earth personally in power and great glory. (Revelation 19).
- The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4, 1 Corinthians 6: II). He convicts the world of sin (John 16:8-11), regenerates (Titus 3:3-5), indwells (I Corinthians 6:19), and empowers the believer to live a life of personal holiness and walk in obedience to the will of God. (Philippians 2:13).
- All men are sinful and lost by nature, making the new birth necessary. (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23).
- Salvation is by grace alone and is offered by God freely to all who will repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord of their life (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- All who are saved (redeemed) will be raised to everlasting life and blessedness in Heaven (John 3:16), and the unsaved will be raised to everlasting punishment in hell. (II Thessalonians 1:8-9).
- All of the above statements are based on the Bible, the infallible Word of God, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3: 16-17).
