TheCity.church exists to see revival in Jacksonville through the local church.
Since planting in 2015, we've believed that healthy churches can transform neighborhoods by helping people encounter Jesus, grow in community, and live on mission together.
TheCity.church was planted in 2015 under the leadership of Pastor Blake Bennett with a vision to build a church that would faithfully serve Jacksonville for generations to come.
As God has continued to grow our church family, we've expanded that vision by planting and partnering with Neighborhood Congregations throughout the city.
Rather than building one large campus, we've chosen to become one church expressed through many neighborhoods.
Today our church family is honored to call these neighborhoods ‘home’:
San Marco (2015)
Bartram Park (2019)
Riverside (2021)
In 2024, our commitment to multiplication continued as we helped plant Revive Church, extending our vision beyond our own Neighborhood Congregations by investing in a new local church.
Although each Neighborhood Congregation has its own personality and local leadership, we remain one church.
We share:
Mission
Vision
Core Values
Governance
Financial Stewardship
Elder Leadership
Church Planting Commitment
This allows every congregation to faithfully serve its neighborhood while remaining connected to something larger than itself.
We believe revival happens as healthy churches faithfully serve their neighborhoods.
That's why we're committed not only to strengthening existing congregations, but also to raising up future church planters through residency and apprenticeship.
Our prayer is to continue planting healthy churches throughout Jacksonville and beyond for generations to come.
