Welcome to

Cape Baptist Church
where we're all about "Knowing Jesus, and Making Him Known!"

Baby

What are service like?

Our atmosphere is relaxed - some wear suits, some wear flip-flops. Our preaching is Spirit-filled, our music is lively yet traditional, and we share food and fellowship together after every service.

Cape Baptist Church is a Bible-preaching church committed to timeless Christian truth, Christ-centered worship, and reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Simply stated:

We believe the Bible is the inspired and preserved Word of God, and we strive to build our church and lives around its perfect truth. We are independent in church leadership and direction, seeking to follow Christ above denominational trends or cultural pressures. We hold to fundamental biblical doctrines without compromise, while desiring to show the grace and love of Christ to everyone we meet. In our services and teaching, we use only the old King James Bible.

While you'll find our preaching is distinctly Bible-based, contextually accurate, and unapologetic, our love for people is unmistakable!

We believe truth and compassion are not enemies but exactly how Jesus Christ spoke - truth with great boldness, and love without reservation.

About Cape Baptist Church

Meets at the Westminster Presbyterian Church

In 2014, the Lord placed a deep burden on the heart of Pastor Jimmy Jackson for the people of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. While faithfully serving in ministry in Milton, Florida; Meriden, Connecticut; and Marion, North Carolina, the Lord continually impressed upon him the spiritual need of this city along the Mississippi River. Over the next decade, that burden continued to grow, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the faithful support of many churches, Cape Baptist Church was born.

At Cape Baptist Church, our mission is simple: Knowing Christ and Making Him Known.

To us, “Knowing Christ” is more than simply knowing about Him - it is growing daily in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the teaching of God’s Word, prayer, obedience, and genuine Christian fellowship. We desire to help believers grow in spiritual maturity and develop a sincere devotion to Christ - not Religion.

“Making Him Known” means intentionally sharing the Gospel, discipling others, and training believers to help others follow Christ as well. We believe every Christian has been called to live as a witness of God’s grace and to invest in the spiritual growth of others.

At the heart of Cape Baptist Church is a passion to proclaim the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ without apology to every soul in our community. We believe the message of salvation is for all people, regardless of age, race, background, or circumstance. Though our journey is just beginning, we have already seen the faithful hand of God at work as He continues to build His church in Cape Girardeau.

Meet the Pastor's Family! Jimmy, Samantha, Alexia, Makenna, Brennan, and Harper

Pastor Jimmy's journey to ministry is a testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness. Raised in a non-Christian military family, much of his early life was spent far from the influence of a faithful church and with little understanding of God’s Word. Everything changed in November of 1999 when he heard the Gospel clearly presented and trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior on November 21, 1999. Not long afterward, the Lord began calling him into ministry, leading him to begin formal ministry training in 2003.

For more than twenty years, Pastor Jimmy has faithfully served in bi-vocational ministry while working in the HVAC industry as an Industrial HVAC technician. Today, he also enjoys investing in the next generation as an HVAC instructor at a local technical college. His passion is simple: preaching the Bible clearly, helping people grow in their walk with Christ, and training believers to disciple others.

Samantha was raised in a loving Christian home by a faithful single father who worked sacrificially to provide stability and spiritual guidance for his family. On January 6, 2007, Samantha trusted Christ as her Savior and later attended Bible college, where the Lord continued to deepen her love for ministry and serving others.

Samantha loves encouraging people, serving her church family, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere wherever she goes. She works as an administrative assistant at a local law firm and also enjoys planning events, spending time with family, and finding every opportunity possible to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation outdoors.

Together, the Jackson family is grateful for the opportunity to serve in Cape Girardeau and would love the chance to meet you and your family personally!

The Gospel Message

We live in a world that is gripped by fear. Fear of the unknown. Financial instability. Foreign invasion. Economic disaster. Cancer. The Coronavirus. These are very real concerns in our culture. But Jesus holds out His mighty hand in love, calling us to channel our fear into a complete and confident faith in Him. He is bigger than any threat, wiser than any expert, richer than any recession, and stronger than any disease. No matter what we face, we don’t have to live in fear; we can seek the face of our unchanging God! “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,” (Psalm 46:1-2). Will you choose to trust in Jesus Christ with your future?

The truth is — there is something far worse coming than the temporal concerns that swirl about us today. The Bible is clear: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27). Your soul will go into eternity after this life. Are you ready for this? Every single one of us have been contaminated with sin and quarantined from Heaven. But there is a Cure! That is why I believe God has given you the opportunity to read this virtual Gospel tract — He wants to share with you His loving remedy.

THE PROBLEM

No one is perfect; we have all done bad things — whether it was lying, stealing, cheating, thinking lustful thoughts, being disobedient to your parents, and many other things. The Bible says in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We may consider ourselves to be “pretty good” compared to someone else, but each of us falls short of the perfection of God. No matter how hard we try, we will never be perfect.

The Bible says that there is a consequence for sin; and it is death. Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sin is death…” This death is not only a physical death but a spiritual one. According to Revelation 21:8, “death” ultimately refers to spending eternity in Hell: “the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” But there is hope!

THE SOLUTION

Though our own sins separate us from God, He does not want anyone to die and go to Hell. Jesus Christ courageously and lovingly went up Calvary’s hill to die on an old rugged cross — to take away our sins and bring us salvation. John 3:16 proclaims, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Jesus willingly shed His sinless blood and gave His life as a sacrifice for you and me. He died, victoriously rose again from the grave, and now freely offers to us the ONLY REMEDY for sin! You cannot buy your way to Heaven, nor can you earn it through other alternatives such as good works or baptism (as other religions teach). It is ONLY through Jesus. God’s Word is clear: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,” (Ephesians 2:8-9). “For there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus says, “I am the way,… no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

THE CHOICE

God promises in Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Will you repent from your sins, turn to Jesus, and accept His Cure? Jesus stands with His arms opened wide in love, waiting for you to come to Him by faith and accept Him as your personal Saviour! According to the Bible, if you were to receive Jesus, where will you go when you die? The exciting answer is Heaven! But, if you were to reject Jesus and never accept what He did on the Cross for you, where will you spend eternity? The sobering answer is Hell.

OUR SINCERE CALL

Why not call upon the Lord right now and ask Him to save you? You only have Hell to lose and all of Heaven to gain. Please reach out to Pastor Jackson if you would like to talk about this life changing decision.
