Anchor Free Will Baptist Church

Anchor Free Will Baptist Church Our church is a warm, friendly church with a rich tradition in Jacksonville, North Carolina. In 2004 we relocated to 919 Gum Branch Road.

We exist to help people know Jesus personally, pursue Him passionately, and proclaim Him publicly.

“which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast…” Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬ ‭ The First Free Will Baptist Church was born out of a need to reach the rapidly growing Marine population in the area during the 1940’s. We maintain an active Sunday School for all age groups, an exciting mid

week teaching program for all ages and a variety of ministry and recreational opportunities during the week. Jacksonville Christian Academy has been an integral part of our ministry since 1981. We encourage you to come and be a part of our ministry. Please contact us if you need more information concerning the First Free Will Baptist Church of Jacksonville.
