Fruit Cove Baptist Church is located south of downtown Jacksonville past Mandarin and the Julington Creek Bridge, just outside of Duval County.  The church is located at 501 State Road 13 in St. John’s County.  

The church began in 1978 “when a small group of Baptists began meeting in homes in the Fruit Cove area”.  At that time, there was a two-lane highway.  Today it is hustling and bustling with a four-lane highway, strip malls and several grocery stores.

The Christmas tree for 2022 is a faux fir tree with white snow painted on its branches.  There are several trees in the lobby.  We used this one for a photo op.  Sometimes you’re not ready for the photo and no one got a better one so there’s that.  The kids are cute tho….

See you tomorrow,
