During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pantry is a touchless, drive-through operation. Clients can receive food every two weeks.

Help Us Serve

We all know what it feels like to be hungry, but most of us do not worry about where our next meal is coming from. Food is one of the most basic human needs. Premiere Eglise Baptiste Hatienne de Jacksonville reaches out to help meet the need in our community through our Food Pantry. We could not keep our Food Program going if it were not for the generous donations and support we receive from numerous businesses, organizations and volunteers.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Investing in today’s youth is necessary in
growing the body of Christ. Teaching young people in the church to grow in
their relationship with the Lord prepares them to serve Christ in all they do.
As a result, this nurtures the congregation and allows the church to
flourish.Serving young people cannot only prepare them to become future
leaders, but also allow them to contribute to the church. This is seen many
times in the Bible, as God often used young people to do great things. For
example, God used Timothy to pastor and lead the Ephesian church when he was a
teenager. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you
are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love,
in faith and in purity.”In addition, there is much to be learned from the faith
of a child. Matthew 18:2-4 says, “He called a little child to him, and placed
the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and
become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven.’” Because of God’s heart for young people, it is
important to recognize their value in today’s church.

Judges 4:4-5 Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading[a] Israel at that time. 5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided.

Among the greatest assets of any church are its women. According to Scripture, women are full heirs of the grace of life (1 Peter 3:7), equal recipients of the saving work of Christ (Galatians 3:28) and partakers of the Holy Spirit and his gifts (Acts 2:17; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12, 13; 1 Peter 4:10, 11). Women serve throughout Christ’s church around the world exalting God in countless ways.The New Testament gives testimony to the service of women in the ministry of Jesus (Matt. 27:55, 56; 28:1-10; Lk. 8:1-3) and in the life of the early church (Titus 2:3; 2 Timothy 1:5 with 3:14; Acts 18:26). Accordingly, men and women share many common roles in the life of the church.

Psalm 1:1-6 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; ...

In the New Testament, the apostle Paul very specifically outlined the leadership roles God intended within the family in Ephesians 5:23. Here we see that the husband is to be the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church. That sets a very high standard for men to live up to!What specifically is this standard God expects men to live up to? Verse 25 makes two very important points. The first is that Christ “loved” the Church. There are many definitions for love. But one that would describe Christ’s love for the Church is “unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another” (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary).The second point (which is an extension of Christ’s love) is that He gave Himself for the Church. What is described in these verses is authority as the head of the family and a commitment to fulfill the needs of the family. Jesus Christ demonstrated that real leadership and real love are self-sacrificing in order to provide what is needed to those who are led and loved.The husband’s role is intended to be one of loving authority and not a harsh authoritarian role. And as a loving authority, the husband is accountable to God for the welfare of his family—physically, morally, spiritually and emotionally.Further evidence of a man’s role as head of the household is found in 1 Timothy 3. This passage (verses 1 to 13) is talking about the qualifications of “bishops” and “deacons”—leaders in the Church congregation. These standards are benchmarks for all Christians to strive for. In this context, verses 4 and 5 state that a leader should be one who “rules his own house well” and that his children must be in submission.

Psalms 95:1 
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

1 Chronicles 25:1–6 tells us David selected three men; Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to organize and lead the music in public services. In that same passage, we are told that these men had between them twenty-four sons, who they then led in the ministry of music. Each of them had specific responsibilities in both instrumentation and voice, and they led an army of musicians.

1 Chronicles 9:18-20 Until then they were in the king's gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites. Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him.

An usher is a spiritual ambassador for the local church – God’s ordained and organized body of believers. The usher serves as a “first representative” of Jesus Christ for a worship service. From the tabernacle in the Old Testament to the temple and synagogue in the New Testament, God’s presence and the teaching of His word is of supreme importance.
