HISTORY

Isaiah D. Hart was the founder of Jacksonville. He once owned a plantation that was known as his haven away from the hustle of town, and the community became known as Hart Haven. Once a thriving area of Jacksonville in the 40’s and 50’s, many businesses used the name Hart Haven. Hart Haven Baptist Church was established in 1947 with a few founding members who were a part of the community. It grew over the years to have over 200 members, proving a haven of worship to many families. The church as a rich history and has continued to be a light in a community that has changed. The congregation is loving and welcoming to all who want to join in fellowship.
