Nolan Ridge Church

Nolan Ridge Church The church in the middle of the woods. Founded in the early 1900s by Ellis Padgett, the church has been a long-standing part of the Long Branch community.

Located in Jennings State Forest, Nolan Ridge Church, with a rich history in the Long Branch area, welcomes the community to worship and fellowship! Deep in Jennings State Forest, Nolan Ridge Church, often referred to as the "little church in the woods," welcomes anyone seeking worship and fellowship. It was once called the “Little Red Church” and brought together families who worked in timber, tu

rpentine, farming, and even moonshine. Even as the area has changed, the church stands as a symbol of faith and resilience. Still running on a generator, this small chapel continues to unite people and honor the legacy of those who built it over a hundred years ago.

Summer is one of our favorite times at Nolan Ridge Church ! Join us tonight for Midweek Service as we welcome the Diamond D Ranch summer camp groups for a powerful evening of good old-fashioned worship, fellowship, and encouragement. It’s a great time to step away from the stresses of the week and refocus on faith, family, and community.

If you’re looking for a Bible-based church in Jacksonville, a welcoming church family, or a place for Wednesday night worship and Sunday service, we’d love to have you.

Come as you are and experience church the way it was meant to be: simple, welcoming, and centered on Christ.

You are not alone. “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” — Psalm 31:24

No matter what this week brings your way, take heart. God sees every burden, every worry, and every silent prayer. Even in difficult seasons, He is faithful to strengthen and carry His people through.

Hold on to your faith. Keep trusting His plan. And remember that brighter days can still come through the grace of God.

Take courage. The Lord is with you. Nolan Ridge Church

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or a time to gather with loved ones. It’s a time to remember the heroes who never made it home and the families who carried burdens and heartbreak with them.

To the mothers, fathers, spouses, children, friends, and loved ones who endured so much, thank you. Your strength, sacrifice, and love will never be forgotten.

Because of their courage, we can worship freely, gather openly, and enjoy time with the people we love.

Let’s never take those freedoms for granted.

Today, we remember.
Today, we honor.
And today, we say thank you.

It’s comforting to know that the same God who brought you this far will keep carrying you forward.
