For a big church it's okay. I came for the first time about 11 years ago. Then visited seven or eight times over the years. It's true about the buildings being a maze. It's very confusing navigating and you'd be lucky finding someone to help you so it's kind of a good thing police are always there to help out. I don't care much for their, "Meet and greet." At least the way it was a couple years ago. So hopefully they changed it. After being ignored for an hour and a half. They came up to me, "Hi. Is this your first time?' Oh Welcome back. Have you met Pastor Brunson? Okay, we'll introduce you to him." They grabbed my shoulders and (literally) steered me quickly through the sea of people. There's a special area where the Pastor, church officials and staff were all in this line, "Hi. Welcome to first Baptist. Here's a brochure." Then it was on to the next person. Same thing, the entire time this person was still steering me by my shoulders.. I had a question I wanted to ask but they seemed too busy. Then after meet and greet they said goodbye, turned around and start talking to people and I find myself standing alone dazed and confused. I mean I can understand being busy cause they do have about 20,000 members. But still, it was extremely rushed and impersonal. The members are nice but a lot of times they ignore me so I wait till service starts before I go so I won't feel awkward sitting there alone. But at least I get something out of the sermons and Pastor Brunson has some really good insights. But I sometimes wish the congregation would show they're still alive during worship.
It's my hometown church. The Word of God is powerful there. So much love too.
Enjoyed worship at FBC Jax and the preaching was solid.
Wonderful message from pastor Brunson. Everyone makes you feel so welcome.
I love this church. Pastor Brunson is the best. I am so happy here. I love the orchestra. The orchestra was the deciding factor for my membership. The choir is awesome. I knew this was my new church home on my first visit. I am so happy.
