Church Plant In Brazil
Fort Caroline is an Acts 1:8 Church and is actively involved in our community and around the globe in carrying out the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. We are involved in missions "giving" through the North American Mission Board, through the International Mission Board, through the Cooperative Program, through our State Convention, and Local Association. In the 2006 church year Fort Caroline members gave $164,226.00 to missions.
We are also involved in missions "going" by supporting a new Church-start in Brazil. For two years Fort Caroline Baptist Church members traveled to Brazil to expand the Kingdom of God through partnering with the Igreja Batista Communitaria of Cuiaba. We have committed ourselves as a congregation to financially and personally support this work.
Join with us as we reach this world for Christ, one person at a time.
Angel Arms Ministry
Angel Arms is a Ministry of Fort Caroline Baptist Church that partners with the local neonatal intensive care units in hospitals to provide hand crocheted blankets to the families of those who have lost newborn children.
The ladies gather at the church to crochet and to pray for those children and the families that the blankets will touch. It is a small but personal way to let the families know that we care.
Florida Baptist Childrens Home
The Jacksonville location of the Florida Baptist Children's Home creates a great opportunity for individual members and LifeGroups to sponsor a child while they are at the home. Individuals or classes may sponsor a child by contacting John Shultz at

. Fort Caroline Baptist Church has sponsored many children that may or may not have had any other sponsors to assist with any of the clothing and personal needs of the children.
Would you or your class like to sponsor a child? We ask that sponsors commit to a child for one year or as long as they are at the Children's Home. We also ask that all written communication go through the Florida Baptist Children's Home. If you desire to sponsor a child, you will receive the first name of your child, their date of birth, and clothing sizes. However, personal contact with the child will be limited. Children often rely on their sponsors to receive gifts at Christmas, birthdays, for special events, and back-to-school supplies. Please prayerfully consider sponsoring a child.
St. Francis Soup Kitchen
Several times per year many of our church members serve to provide a hot meal at the St. Francis Soup Kitchen in downtown Jacksonville, FL. Those who volunteer their time often leave Fort Caroline at 8:30 a.m. and return around 1 p.m. They will feed anywhere from 400-700 persons in a 3 hour period of time. Volunteers serve in many different areas in that 3 hour time frame, but most of all they realize that they are the fragrance of Christ to a group of people that Christ died for and are precious to Him. If you desire to serve in this ministry, please contact John Shultz at
