South Jacksonville Presbyterian

Construction

Our Spire

From SJPC

For San Marco

If you’ve been through San Marco recently, you’ve likely noticed something new taking shape on our campus. For more than 100 years, South Jacksonville Presbyterian Church has been a gathering place in this neighborhood—a place of care, connection, and community. Now, we’re building something new—not for ourselves, but for San Marco. This space is designed to serve our neighbors, to welcome all, and to create room for what matters: learning, rest, creativity, conversation, and community life.

We know it’s a little strange to see such major changes happening. Take a look through these frequently asked questions to learn more about what’s going on!

We’re building a flexible, welcoming space that will serve as a hub for the San Marco community. It’s designed to host everything from small group gatherings and community events to workshops, art classes, support groups, and more.

For a long time, our campus felt like it was mostly for us. But that’s not who we are anymore. We’re committed to thoughtfully stewarding every inch of our space on behalf of the broader community. This building is an expression of that commitment—created not just to sit in the neighborhood, but to serve the neighborhood.

We’re already planning a wide range of programs and gatherings: community meals, support for aging well, local nonprofit partnerships, creative events, and more. We want this to be a place where connection and care are possible for everyone.

We expect to break ground in the first quarter of 2025 and hope to complete construction in about a year.

We’d love for you to be part of what’s unfolding. You can:
– Give financially to support the building project.
– Share your ideas and dreams for how the space could be used.
– Sign up for email updates or join one of our upcoming listening sessions.

Whether you’re a neighbor, a local business owner, or someone who just wants to connect—we want to hear from you. This space is for you.
