What To Expect
From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll feel like part of the family. Our friendly Guest Services team will be there to greet you and assist with anything you may need, whether it’s finding your way around or learning about upcoming events.
Our services are centered on worship through group singing, special music, and engaging preaching and teaching from the Bible, typically lasting about an hour. You will find people dressed in a wide variety of styles from as casual as jeans, to as formal as suits and dresses.
We offer nursery services for ages 0-3 during all services, and for children aged 4 to 6th grade, there’s a specialized children’s service on Sunday mornings, providing a fun and educational experience tailored just for them. Join us for an uplifting and welcoming experience every Sunday!

Pastor
Purpose
Building lives on the Word of God and leaders for the Work of God. We seek to honor God in everything, make the Bible our focus, remain faithful to Jesus, and reach the world with the gospel.
History
On July 11, 2010, Pastor Jack Lawson and a group of believers organized JCBC under the authority of Corinth Baptist Church of Loganville, GA. They met at the Jackson Trial Christian School until 2014 when they moved into the new facilities at 79 Memorial Dr. The Fellowship Building was added for meals and activities in 2017. In 2019, Pastor Lawson retired and the church called Matt Booher as their Pastor.

What should I wear?
When you come to one of our services, you will find people dressed in a wide variety of styles from as casual as jeans, to as formal as suits and dresses. Of course, all are welcome no matter what the attire; however, we do ask that people dress modestly, in a way that does not draw attention to themselves. We think that what you wear to church should not detract from the worship experience of others around you. We want all of the attention to go to Jesus Christ.

We have parking available right in front of our sanctuary, as well as around the property.

What happens when I get to church?
We trust your first visit with us will be a very pleasant one. While our doors are open to anyone, the safety of our children is extremely important to us, so we ask that all our first time guests fill out a visitor’s card when they arrive at our facilities. At our Welcome Center, located in the foyer of our main auditorium entrance, you will be greeted by our friendly volunteers who will personally assist you with getting your children to their appropriate class, as well as giving you some overall information regarding our services.
What do I do before the service starts?
If you arrive before the service starts, you will notice that our sanctuary is filled with plenty of comfortable seats. There are no reserved seats, so you may sit anywhere. Many people will be greeting one another during this time.
What are the services like?
Services generally last about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Our worship services are a time of joyful worship and praise, with a variety of traditional songs provided by our choir and special musicians.
What is the pastor’s message like?
Pastor Matt Booher gives Bible-based messages lasting 30-45 minutes. His messages are biblical and applicable to our daily lives.
Do you give public invitations at the end of the service? What are they like?
At the end of his message, Pastor Booher invites anyone who does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to put their faith in Him. This is also a time for personal prayer with God over changes we may need to make in our lives. Counseling is also available for spiritual needs.
Do I need to donate money when I visit?
Jackson County Baptist Church does believe giving is a Biblical principle and we do encourage it. However, our guests should not feel under any obligation to participate.
