We are so honored and excited that you are here!

 

The Sanctuary of Jacksonville is a place where people can meet Jesus in the midst of your life, engage in kingdom connections, dig deeper in the word, and where everyone is welcomed. We believe in speaking LIFE and creating an atmosphere where you can build a relationship with Jesus and use your gifts to bring Glory to God

 

The mission of The Sanctuary of Jacksonville is to love God, to love others, and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ. The vision of our church is to reach people far from God and anchor them into a life with Jesus.

 

 

 

 

Growing up as a Pastor’s son, Jonathan Cook followed in his father’s footsteps and became a Pastor himself, serving where needed.  In 2004, Pastor Jon and his wife, Tiffany, founded The Sanctuary of Jacksonville on a leap of faith in a small store front.  Now with over two decades of preaching and leading people to Jesus, in 2016, Pastor Jon founded the fully accredited Anchor Bible College proudly teaching the Word of God and training men and women for ministry.

 

The late Bishop J.L. Cook, Pastor’s Jon’s father, founded the North Carolina College of Theology where Pastor Jon received his PH. D in Theology.  You will always leave one of his services feeling encouraged, blessed, and closer to God as he preaches doctrine in a straight forward manner.
