A Worthy Investment For God’s Kingdom In Charlottesville And Beyond

Our Goal: $871,072

Opening Our Doors Into Tomorrow

In July of 1963, Jefferson Park Baptist Church opened the doors of its newly constructed building pictured above. Over 60 years later, we look back and give thanks to God for his many years of faithfulness and care. By God’s grace, our church has grown recently to the point of being completely full and needing more space. In seeking to steward the property God has blessed us with, we decided to undertake this building project. Thank you to all who have supported this project financially. Through your generosity, the Lord has made this project possible and brought it to completion. We pray that these expanded and renovated spaces will be used by the Lord for faithful ministry and gospel witness in the generations to come.

Phase 1 Renovations Complete!

Expanded Fellowship Hall

The classrooms in the Fellowship Hall have been removed in order to expand the large meeting area for fellowship, meals, events, and our Wednesday prayer service. In addition, this will prepare us to make renovations to the Main Hall when we have the resources.

New Children’s Wing

Praise God for many babies and children and the need for this space! The nursery has been expanded to include a new room with an indoor play area, as well as a nursing mothers room. The rooms across from the nursery have been converted into new children’s classrooms. This children’s wing enables all the children to be in the same location and floor, which helps with safety and order.

New Playground

The playground serves as a central place for families to gather after services and during the week for fellowship. It’s where guests and families connect and where kids play and make friends. As families enjoy time together at the playground, they are also able to witness to neighbors and engage them with the gospel.

Updated bathrooms

Two ADA family bathrooms have been added to serve families and aging members well. In the interest of improving privacy, cleanliness, and usability, our existing bathrooms have been renovated with new fixtures and finishes. This also enables us to expand the Main Hall significantly without requiring additional bathrooms.

Phase 2 Plan

Details will be finalized as we prepare for Phase 2, but the architectural renderings below provide an idea of where we’re heading!
