About Us   

 

 

ADVANCE! is the name chosen by the men of Jacksonville Chapel who are striving to “make disciples who make a difference” in their homes, communities and workplaces.   From large events to small groups to “man to man” mentoring, ADVANCE! provides a welcome environment to men in all stations of life.  

 

 ADVANCE! incorporates a variety of opportunities for men in all seasons of life to help face life's challenges through learning more of God's Word, the Bible, and growing in their Christian faith and daily walk.   Through ongoing small groups, social events, workshops, seminars and outrach events, we strive to help men of all ages find their God-given gifts and exercise them in a manner to benefit each other, the Church family as a whole, and the world we face each week at work and at home.  Examples of “Advance Men” involvement at Jacksonville Chapel include:  teacher, small group leader/member, elder board, worship band, Sunday school teacher, youth leader, choir, scout leader, finance advisor, usher, pastor and many more.

 

There are specific outreach activities throughout the year including an annual Good Friday outreach breakfast at a local hotel with a quality speaker, topical workshops/seminars, small group Bible study, a video Bible Study from Man in the Mirror Ministries, an annual  overnight “Base Camp”  (formerly known as a retreat), breakfasts, “pig roasts”, father/child events and weekly mentoring.  All of these events are open to all men regardless of whether they attend church at Jacksonville Chapel, elsewhere, or not at all.   

 

Throughout the year, ADVANCE! men participate in various sevices at Jacksonville Chapel, in our surrounding communities and even throughout the world with short term mission projects to help those less fortunate. 

 

If you are just “exploring” or if you have been attending churches for many years, ADVANCE! will provide you with resources to meet you where you are in a comfortable atmosphere, and will provide you with opportunities to go beyond the “base camp” and into the front lines of a world that so desperately needs men who are available to God’s direction and command.
