Gospel Focused

Jacksonville presents a unique and compelling environment for outreach and church planting due to several factors:

Growth And Opportunity:

Jacksonville is one of the fastest-growing cities in Florida. With ongoing urban renewal projects and increased migration, especially in neighborhoods like Springfield, there is both a physical and spiritual renaissance underway. This growth provides fertile ground for outreach and building a church that demonstrates God's love in tangible ways.

Diversity:  

Jacksonville is a melting pot of cultures, with diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic communities. This diversity reflects a rich mission field for spreading the gospel and fostering inclusivity, aligning well with Dream Church's core values of diversity and family.

  Needs of Vulnerable Populations:

The city is home to communities facing challenges such as poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and low educational attainment. Areas like Springfield exemplify this, being one of the poorest neighborhoods, with below-average family income and significant educational disparities. These needs create opportunities for Dream Church to serve in meaningful ways.

Alignment with Vision and Mission:

Planting in Jacksonville allows Dream Church to directly fulfill its mission to share the gospel, make disciples, and serve the local community. The city's demographics, challenges, and growth align with the church's vision to create a generous, diverse family empowered by the gospel.
