Contemporary Churches in Jonesboro

Many congregations along Tara Boulevard and the Mount Zion corridor emphasize band-led worship, practical teaching, and kid-friendly spaces, with ample parking for I-75 commuters. These churches often draw young families from subdivisions near Flint River Road and the Irondale area and offer livestreams, midweek groups, and hands-on service projects on the southside.

Historic Downtown Churches

In and around the historic district near Courthouse Square, long-established churches worship in traditional sanctuaries with choirs, stained glass, and structured liturgy. They serve multi‑generation families rooted in Clayton County and host seasonal concerts and community events that are walkable from Main Street.

Jonesboro Black Baptist Churches

Rooted in the southside’s African American heritage, these congregations feature gospel-driven worship, dynamic preaching, and strong deacon-led community care. Many run food distributions and youth mentorship tied to nearby Clayton County schools and are clustered along Tara Boulevard and neighborhood corridors off Flint River Road.

Jonesboro’s growing Latino community supports congregations that worship in Spanish or bilingually, often meeting in storefronts or shared spaces near the Mount Zion retail corridor.

50s
“But this brings up the importance of community, knowing one another deeply including those with whom we may have little in common. You know, it's it's vital in the church that we see one another even with all of our differences as one family. In the same way we wouldn't ignore or refuse to get to know other family members, we must not consider anybody in the church as unworthy of our attention and love. We we've got to recognize that even the faces that we don't recognize are valuable and are important and and and you hear me preach this all the time. I'm I'm constantly talking about this. If you don't know somebody, get to know somebody.”
53s
“What stronghold is standing in your way? What have you tolerated and put up with for generations and years upon years that the moment that you see it come up, you get scared and run the other way? Yeah. Yes. What is it what is it in your life that you have allowed your complaining to uproot the blessing that God wants to bring into your life? See, God knew what he was doing. The Israelites kept themselves bound up and get themselves held back because of their mouth. And what he's saying is what you try to tear down with your mouth, I'm gonna build up with your praise. Uh-huh. Hallelujah. See, your complaining only got you so far. But the moment you choose to humble yourself and give yourself over to me, give your voice up to me, and release the sound that I've been waiting to hear. Watch me deliver the breakthrough that you've been crying out for. Amen.”
50s
“if you are choosing not to take on responsibility within the church, You are choosing not to serve, not to work. You you come here simply to be served. Recognize that the church is not growing as it should in part because you are not serving as you should. So we have a lot of problems here, good problems, good problems. We see new faces regularly, You know, our attendance is is like a roller coaster, up and down but but but almost every week, we see new faces. People that we have an opportunity to get to know.”
45s
“Think small. Wait a minute. That's that's opposite of everything that you hear in church growth. You gotta think large. You gotta think about about big things, bigger buildings, more people, and all that but the idea was as you think small, meaning as you focus on individuals instead of just the collective, those individuals feel valued and treasured in a part of the community and and and and that becomes infectious and the more you focus on people and and not just on programs and and on on broader ideas, the more you focus on the people, the more you will grow And so I encourage us to think small,”
42s
“However, they understood the importance of meeting the material needs and want to be sure it was handled by qualified individuals. They didn't just say, yeah, just, you know, some somebody take care of that. Somebody else do that. No, it's important that these people be people who had the responsibility and were, you know, were equipped to do it and and so in in Acts six verses three and four, it says, brothers brothers and sisters, this is the apostles talking to the people. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and we'll give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
47s
“I couldn't help but say, hallelujah. I couldn't help but sing. I couldn't help but dance because I remember a time where there was no song for me to sing, where there was no praise for me to give, but God loved me just enough that he allowed the praise to bring his presence back into my life. And if that's somebody and you feel dry and you feel destitute, the praise of your mouth will release the restoring refreshing power of the Holy Ghost back into you. Somebody stand to your feet. Give God a shout and watch him restore and bring every dead thing back to life in Jesus' mighty name.”
48s
“``the devil messed up nine years ago when he let me back into it. When he allowed me to walk through these doors, then he allowed me to come up to this altar. Because the moment that my chains broke, I made it my mission in life to go find other chained up, bound up people and lead them to the same place of freedom that I found in Christ Jesus. A bound person can't help a bound person, but a free person can help anybody. Because you know what it takes to get out. And let me tell you, it'll be your praise that late in the midnight hour when nobody's watching and nobody knows what's going on. Your sound is reaching heaven, and God's dispatching angels to come see about you today.”
34s
“See, sometimes in those uncertain seasons, what the enemy wants to try to do is the minute that he feels like you're getting right at the edge of breakthrough, what he'll do because he can't harm you, he can't touch you, he'll start to just manipulate circumstances and situations around you to get you scared, to get you afraid, to get you to the place where where you don't go forward. But let me tell you something. God has given you a weapon for you to get a jump on the enemy, and it's in the sound of praise that he's given each and every one of you.”
31s
“"We are a priesthood of believers now. Which means no longer do we need somebody else to go to God on our behalf. We have direct access to God. But it also means, we have the opportunity to introduce people to the Lord. To lead people. Whether we are a leader in the church or not. As a priest of Jesus Christ, we have the opportunity and the obligation to try to lead people to Jesus. To make an eternal difference in the world that we live."”
27s
“"Whether you are a leader in the church, whether you aspire to be, or you have been in the past or whatever, what truly matters is how you are leading your life in a way that follows Jesus. And how you are leading others to know Him as Lord and Savior. And if you don't know Him as Lord and Savior today, while we are singing these next few songs, I invite you to come and have a conversation with me."”
