SUNDAY SCHOOL

    Join us for our weekend, small-group environment for our kids as we discover a new virtue every month.

ALL STARS FOR JESUS

Wednesday Evenings @ 6:00 PM in the “Family Clubhouse” - Building G

    Join us for our mid-week, large group environment for our kids as we build on virtues, scripture memorization, missions, and relationships each week.  Kids will be invovled in recreation, hands on Bible studies, and mission education, as well as worship.   

JAM KIDS CHOIR!

Watch for future events...they're coming SOON!

We use a series of ongoing weekly activities: Sunday School, Wednesday night Youth Worship and Bible Study sessions, a prayer breakfast, and more. Biblical truths are embedded and conveyed in each of these activities, presented in a way that helps young people create and sustain a Christian foundation that will prepare them for adulthood.

Our Youth Ministry is designed to create life change in teenagers, and enables them to become life changers themselves in their everyday lives. Young people enjoy and grow together in a Christian walk through a schedule of summer activities, Disciple Now Weekends, camps, mission trips, and retreats, and other forums of fellowship.

At West Jackson Street, we believe college and career age young adults are seeking a church that is relevant to their daily lives. The College and Career Ministry at West Jackson wants to provide just that through relationships, friends, family--and fun.

We will meet each Sunday at 9:00 AM in Room D-102.

Please call the church office at (662)842-7875 if you have any questions concerning this ministry.

“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”
Proverbs 31:30

The Men's Ministry of West Jackson Street is excited! We are preparing several events throughout the year to help encourage and inspire men to be men of character, love, and service. This ministry is for men of all ages.

Kicking off soon!

Watch for new details as we build this new ministry!

At West Jackson Street, we believe single adults are seeking a church that is willing to meet them where they are in life.

Here you'll find a single adult ministry that means more than "one." We're a family of believers. And we gather in an atmosphere that is filled with energy to explore a faith that really means something to our lives every day.

Singles of all ages--from 20s and 30s to 40s and 50s--will find a place to belong. At West Jackson Street, you will find relationships, friends, family--and fun!

The Senior Adult Ministry at West Jackson Street is a place of friendship, love, Bible Study, worship and opportunities for many days of memories. From Sunday Mornings to Wednesday morning Bible studies to Happy Hearts Luncheons, you can always find your place with the Senior Adult Ministry. You can always find a smile, a hug, a laugh and a warm fellowship among the Senior Adults.

Happy Hearts is the assigned name for our Senior Adult Ministry.  There are a variety of events that take place for Senior Adult Ministries at West Jackson throughout the year. These include pot luck luncheons, day trips, overnight trips, banquets, missions, volunteering, and more.

One of the best ways to get involved at West Jackson Street is through a Bible Study class. Our Seasons of Life Sunday School offers classes for every age, from preschool through senior adult. West Jackson Street can seem to be a large place--and one way we keep the feel of a small church is through the close-knit fellowship, friendships and caring that is a part of our Sunday School.

Sunday School is available weekly 9:00 a.m. Every class has at the heart two primary elements. One is solid teaching from the Bible. Sunday School is designed to help you learn from God's Word. The other is small groups. In Sunday School you'll find a small group of folks just like you. You'll meet in a setting where you can get to really know them.

Sunday Afternoon Opportunities

The "Way of the Master": As the name implies, this is basic training - simple and practical, with nothing complex and no big heavy books to read. These basic principles are easy to learn. By Following these principles, you will learn how to share your faith simply, effectively, biblically... the way Jesus did. This will occur each Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., starting March 30th.

Missions

Missions are also a vital part of the ministry at West Jackson Street. As a part of the Cooperative Program through the Southern Baptist Convention we support missionaries both in foreign lands and also in the United States. There are opportunities for mission trips, both home and away, plus opportunities to give through the Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong Offering.

The purpose of WJSBC’s Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles". This experience allows us to be changed. By working and applying the Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom allows us to experience peace, serenity, joy and most important, a strong relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program, we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.

Recovery Principles

Based on the BEATITUDES

by Pastor Rick Warren

Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.

Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor. Matthew 5:3

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.

Happy are the meek. Matthew 5:5

Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust.

Happy are the pure in heart. Matthew 5:8

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.

Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires. Matthew 5:6

Evaluate all my relationships; offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except when to do so would harm them or others.

Happy are the merciful. Matthew 5:7

Happy are the peacemakers. Matthew 5:9

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible readings and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.

Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires. Matthew 5:10
