Local partnerships
JBTS is always seeking to foster new relationships within the local church community, and we’re pleased to announce that JBTS is now in full partnership with The Jacksonville Baptist Association. This new relationship will help to strengthen connections with existing Jacksonville area churches and provide new avenues for our students to attend JBA leadership training events and seminars. We’re excited to see what God will do in this new partnership.
