North Florida Christian Camp
Located in Keystone Heights, FL (near Goldhead State Park), this camp is located on over 75 acres. Swiss Cove Christian Church has supported the campy for many years. The camp was established in 1964 to serve the local churches with graded, summer youth camps, family camp, canoe camp, retreats, and other activities.
Christ's Cupboard Food Pantry
Each month, members and attendees of Swiss Cove are encouraged to pick up a “brown bag” or two from the Atrium. These bags have items printed on the outside of the bag that the food pantry needs. These bags are filled and returned to the church where volunteers collect and transport them to the ministry serving the immediate needs of the Saint John’s community.
First Coast Women's Services
First Coast Women’s Services is a nonprofit corporation that empowers women to make informed choices about their pregnancy. Their purpose is to prevent the tragedy of abortion by offering truthful information, emotional support, and practical assistance to individuals who are facing unplanned pregnancies. They present sexual abstinence as a positive lifestyle for singles and provide an opportunity for healing and restoration to those who have been hurt by abortion. They share the love of Jesus in a caring non-judgmental environment. Their services are free and confidential. Every Mother’s Day, Swiss Cove Christian Church has baby bottles available to pick up, take home, and fill with spare change, dollar bills, and checks. Then, on Father’s Day, the baby bottles are returned and sent to First Coast Women’s Services as donations for their program.
Faithful & True
Faithful and True is the premier Christian treatment program specializing in sexual purity and addiction issues, located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, exclusively created and personally facilitated by Dr. Mark Laaser. With over 26 years of recovery experience, Mark and Debbie Laaser lead men, women, and couples struggling with sexual purity in Intensive Workshops rated by workshop alumni as “life-changing.” In 1996, Dr. Laaser felt the need to further develop sex addiction recovery at the local level. Dr. Laaser set forth a model that would encourage the start of support groups within the church. In February 1997, Faithful and True of Jacksonville, Inc. was born. In August of 2007, Jerry and Susan Sinclair surrendered to the call of being full-time marriage missionaries for Faithful and True of Jacksonville, Inc. This missionary appointment has allowed the support groups to flourish while becoming even more effective with the ministry of helping men get victory over sexual sin.
