From The Heart of Our Bishop:
Dear Friends, As the Bishop and Pastor of One Accord Ministries International, Inc., I would like to invite you to get to know the 21st Century ministry who is in the pursuit of holiness while being about the Word in Action in the City of Jacksonville Florida. We are a ministry of presence who encourages those who are hurting, lost in life, and are looking to repair their spirit, and soul. One Accord has been in existence for 29 years. We got through the Pandemic and have adjusted to the changing times but one thing has never changed. This ministry is based on the WORD of God and is full of love. People have come to this ministry from every background and have found deliverance through the WORD and refuge in the love that comes from the members and the Bishop by their smiles, acts of kindness, encouragement and friendliness. We are located in the North Riverside and Lackawanna area of Jacksonville, Florida; however we serve people locally, nationally, and globally changing lives and giving hope. Lives have changed by a ministry that is “not church as usual”. As we grow we are asking those who desire to know Jesus Christ to come grow with us. We are asking those who will support our growth to take this opportunity to learn more about us and support our effort to build a facility to house this congregation and those are coming for salvation. Thank you!
Bishop, Dr. Jan D. Goodman, Sr.
