After a forty-three week search, we are excited to inform you that Fort Caroline Baptist Church has chosen Stuart Owens to be our Lead Pastor!
Pastor Stuart has accepted this call and he will be moving to Jacksonville soon. We are grateful for how the Lord has directed Pastor Stuart and his family to Fort Caroline. He will begin preaching at the end of June.
Any additional updates will be added to our website. Please continue to pray for Stuart and his family as they move to Jacksonville. We are excited about what God has for us next.
