A Thriving Congregation in Jacksonville
“Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sin, according to the richness of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:2,7)
On behalf of the Macedonia family and myself, I would like to extend to you a warm personal welcome to our website. It is our prayer that you will grow spiritually, mentally, and socially in the Lord.
We believe in the inerrant (free from error) Word of God, that the Bible is God’s holy Word from Genesis to Revelation. This is our doctrinal belief. We believe in tithing which is God’s requirement for the financial support of the church (Malachi 3:8-10).
We believe in evangelism “seeking the lost for Christ.”
The doors of Macedonia are always open to you and your family. If we may be of any assistance to you in your spiritual walk, please contact us.
We invite you to worship with us during any of our worship services.
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Landon L. Williams, Sr., D. Min.

What we believe...
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

Dr. J.C. Thompson was consecrated as the ninth pastor of Greater Macedonia Baptist Church on Sunday March 1, 2026. With over 20 years of leadership experience and more than 30 years in ministry, Pastor Thompson is deeply committed to serving God’s people with excellence, integrity, and compassion.
Pastor Brian C. Campbell served since September 1, 2018, as the Executive Pastor of Greater Macedonia Baptist Church under the leadership of his pastor and mentor Dr. Landon L. Williams, Sr. He returned back home to help work and support his pastor and his church family for the Glory of God. With the passing of his beloved mentor Pastor Campbell continued the mission, leading the congregation to greater heights and deeper depths in The Word. On Sunday August 29, 2021 he was formally installed as the Senior Pastor of Greater Macedonia Baptist Church.
Dr. Williams was called to pastor Greater Macedonia Baptist Church at 3333 Franklin Street, Jacksonville, Florida in January 1976. Dr. Williams accepted the call and became Macedonia’s seventh Pastor, February 1, 1976.
Upon Dr. Williams’ arrival, Macedonia had no parking lot. Property was acquired on all corners of Twenty-Fourth and Franklin and adjacent property was secured off of Twenty-fifth and Franklin. There was no transportation. Dr. Williams Secured a 60-passenger-seat bus and a 15-passenger-seat van. For the first time in the history of Greater Macedonia, a bus ministry was implemented to serve as a tool to increase church attendance.
Upon Dr. Williams’ arrival, the church was not air conditioned, nor the fellowship hall, and there was a $7,000 outstanding debt on the fellowship hall. Through Dr. Williams’ leadership, the properties, bus, van, and air conditioning were acquired, and debt was eliminated. Under Dr. Williams’ guidance, the church membership increased four-fold, and the congregation outgrew the Franklin Street location, and relocated to the present site, 1880 West Edgewood Avenue.
A new church and sanctuary were erected and dedicated to the ministry of the Word of God on Sunday, November 25, 1990. There have been over 1,000 commitments to Christ. Dr. Landon Williams, in a joint venture with Macedonia Agape Development Corporation and Picerne Development Corporation, constructed a 120-unit apartment complex (completed January 2003) for senior citizens 55 years old and above. The cost of this project is thirteen million dollars, and it is state-of-the-art housing for seniors. To God be the glory!
