A lasting home for Gosen’s mission
The Cornerstone Campaign is our church family’s commitment to raise $1,400,000 to secure and build a permanent home for Gosen Seventh-day Adventist Church — a sanctuary for worship, classrooms for our children, and space for the ministries that serve our community every week.
Just as Israel found refuge and abundance in the land of Goshen, we are building a place of refuge for the Jacksonville area — where every generation can worship in English, French, and Kreyòl for decades to come.
Why now?
Our congregation is growing — in families, in children, in ministries. A permanent home means stability for our worship, room for our Pathfinders and Sabbath School classes, a kitchen for our hospitality ministry, and a base for community service that blesses Orange Park and beyond. Owning our building frees future offerings for mission, not rent.
