I attended Eleven22, until I moved two years ago out of state. I found their reviews while looking…read morefor a Financial Peace class for my daughter. The one star reviews have been comical to read this morning. I get that people/churches have off days, make mistakes...And, reviewers are certainly entitled to their opinions about their experiences; However, please consider the caliber of some comments when reading. Certain people like to complain for the sake of complaining. For example: One commented about the amount of traffic outside the church but apparently doesn't attend. Really? Bad mouth a church online you don't attend because there were too many cars? Call the church. I am sure they will consider your complaint and explain their efforts. The last time I was there, they had officers and volunteers on the scene directing the masses. I cannot imagine they have abandoned their responsibilities since I left. Another was scriptural issues. If you have biblical questions about sermons, classes or philosophy, email the pastor himself. Don't take someone's word salad opinion from the reviews, especially when the person acknowledges one verse, but leaves out ten that also apply to their argument. Complaint about the pastor's take on BREAST FEEDING, lol!! As a strong supporter of breastfeeding, I would love to know what he said about breastfeeding being "awkward". Did he speak against breastfeeding being "awkward" because so many use it today as a green light today to be indecent behind the martyr excuse of "feeding my baby". If he did, someone high five that man. I kid but come on. Lastly, no one made me feel welcome. Are you sure they were having church that day? GREETERS ARE SO WELCOMING THEY CAN BE OBNOXIOUS AT TIMES IN A GOOD WAY. Lol, greeters are like roaches...everywhere spreading kindness at ELEVEN22. Many are volunteers who sacrifice their time with family so others can worship. If one failed to greet a person, maybe they arrived at 6:00 AM to set up and are exhausted by the time church has started...Or, maybe they were making coffee for those coming. I am sure there were many who did speak to others. That said, again, people are entitled to their opinions, but please use discernment when reading. No individual is perfect and every one of us needs Jesus. Speaking NECESSARY truth about a church/ministers definitely has its place, but recklessly bad mouthing God's house that may influence others not to attend based on a critical spirit, is dangerous IMO. Go to the source if you have questions. I know that I may sound a bit salty, but I am at my limit with people carelessly tearing ministers/volunteers down that try to serve Christ while they do absolutely nothing but throw tomatoes and criticize online. That said, if you are reading, give this church a try. If it's not for you, thankfully there are more. If you don't like church, then you can still give Jesus a try. Call the church. Someone will pray with you.

Having moved from southern California, my home church was Saddleback pastored by Rick Warren of "Purpose Driven Life" fame. As such, i was accustomed to some pretty high-level preaching. I can honestly say that the teaching i have heard at Ocean Park by their young and astute pastor, Chris Partyka, has blown me away. It is on par with the caliber of preaching I have heard at California mega-churches whose congregations number in the tens of thousands. How terrific that we have such caliber of teaching and worship right here in JAX beach! The congregation is super warm and friendly, and I cannot recommend more highly this little jewel of a church for anyone living nearby. Just off A1A on 16th Avenue.

Our Priorities Ocean Park Baptist Church seeks to build our church on the foundation of the Word of God... 1) Worship: God-Centered & Gospel Exalting 2) Home: Strengthen families with the Word of God 3) Community: Live in a Covenant Community united by the gospel. 4) Disciple Making: Proclaiming the gospel in Jax Beach and throughout the world. God Centered - We do not assemble on Sundays to be entertained but to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). It is our aim that God would be glorified and the gospel proclaimed for the edification of the saints (Eph. 4:11-16) and the salvation of the lost (Matt. 28:16-20). Gospel Exalting - The reason we exist as a congregation is because of the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ (1 John 4:9-12). It is our joy to boldly declare the good news in our worship, fellowship, work, and relationships (Col. 3:17). Christ Glorifying

This is a welcoming place where there are lectures about "should" or "should-not's"...just how to get closer to God.
