About Us
I
have been a Baptist pastor/preacher for over 50 years. My ministry has
taken me from country and neighborhood churches in Georgia
to a large city church in Alabama and then to the First Baptist
Church of Jacksonville, Florida.
The purpose of Jerry Vines Ministries is the same as my purpose has been during these fifty years - to win people to Christ and to help those who know Christ grow in their Christian lives.
In particular Jerry Vines Ministries is an extension of my ministry. Providing Bible preaching and teaching materials. Books, DVDs, and CDs of expository teaching from God's Word have been prepared to help busy pastors, Sunday School teachers and other Christian workers.
Jerry Vines Ministries is publishing my expositions of Bible books. Also, I am providing weekly sermon outlines, audio messages, illustrations, helpful quotations, humor, etc. for those who choose to be a part of our subscription family.
In addition, Jerry Vines Ministries is holding "Power in the Pulpit" conferences to help pastors become more effective in the preparation and delivery of expository sermons. Further plans call for Senior Adult and topical conferences.
I hope you will become a vital part of this new and exciting outlet God has provided for me to reach the lost and teach the saved!
