History of Our Church
The Southpoint Seventh-day Adventist Church is located within the Southpoint area of Jacksonville, Florida, and is one of the 10+ Adventist churches in the area.
On August 8, 1968, a group of 22 members organized into the Jacksonville Regency Seventh-day Adventist Church. They first met at the Home Demonstration Building, but then moved to the Nazarene Church on University Blvd as they grew. Then they built a church on donated land on Atlantic Blvd in 1972, which was dedicated in 1977. Finally, they expanded and built a new church at the present location, which was finished in 1993. The church was also renamed to Jacksonville Southpoint Seventh-day Adventist Church.
About Seventh-day Adventists
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons--the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit--make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father's will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone. More >>
