The First Russian Ukranian Baptist Church of Jax

The First Russian Ukranian Baptist Church of Jax

Who We Are

Russian-Ukrainian Baptist Church

Our Church began in early 1993 with about 35 members as a Slavic Mission with Lake Shore Baptist Church. Since then we have grown, but remain very close with Lake Shore Baptist Church, holding most of our services at their facility. Currently about 120 people, immigrants from various parts of the Former Soviet Union (including Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, and Kazahstan), attend our services
We have a Sanctuary choir that sings during the main Sunday service. Every second Sunday of each month we have a youth-oriented service. Our contemporary Christian band usually performs on significant Christian holidays. We have a Russian language class for children ages 7-14. Every June our church hosts a week-long vacation bible school for children. Older youths take camping trips every Summer. We have a choir for small children. Youth Bible study takes place every Monday. A Bible study-oriented service for all age groups takes place every Sunday morning and Friday night. We have Lord's Supper every first Sunday of each month.
Our church is affiliated with the Jacksonville Baptist Association, Florida Baptist Convention, and the Southern Baptist Convention.
