Planting Faith in Jarrell

Inaugural Service • March 31 at 10:02am Breakfast provided at 9:30am

It's springtime in Jarrell and, as Lenten anticipation merges with the same for bluebonnets, the seeds of Jarrell Community Church (JCC) have also been sown.

Four years ago, Lead Pastor Mason Carmichael and his wife Hannah, after six years of faithful service at River Rock Bible Church in Georgetown, felt a divine pull towards establishing a new faith community in Jarrell. This vision for JCC, deeply rooted in the desire to live out the Great Commission, led them to relocate here in August 2022. Filled with hope and determination, they are now preparing for the church's launch and to weave the message of the Gospel into the fabric where they live, work, and play.

Pastor Carmichael says JCC's mission is founded on the goal of making disciples of Jesus Christ within the community. "We aim to touch every aspect of daily life with the Gospel's transformative power. The vision is clear and profound: To ensure every individual in Jarrell has the opportunity to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be commissioned to make disciples."

He adds that the initial 18 months of JCC's existence have been marked by significant milestones and heartening transformations. "Lives were changed, and hearts were won for Jesus, affirming our belief in our calling and the community's need for such a spiritual and communal hub."

OUTREACH

Beyond spiritual guidance, JCC is deeply invested in the welfare of Jarrell's residents. This commitment is evident in their approach to community service, which includes partnering with Education Connections and reading to students at Double Creek Elementary. "We have a soft spot for teachers, students, and their families," he adds.

Pastor Carmichael says, "Our goal is to serve our community in a variety of ways: service projects, family care, and recovery ministries. We don’t just want to create temporary solutions, we want to invite everyone in Jarrell to experience the genuine life change that comes through a growing relationship with Jesus and His people."

JCC's leaders plan to offer an array of services and programs to cater to the diverse needs of the community. Future programs — from children and youth ministries to monthly breakfast gatherings for men and women — will create spaces for meaningful connections and spiritual growth. Small group Bible studies, hosted in homes throughout Jarrell, will provide intimate settings for deeper exploration of faith.

As well, the church facilities, courtesy of a partnership with Jarrell ISD, including the use of their annex and Paw Prints Daycare, underscore a shared commitment to community support and engagement.
