Our mission
Go, and make disciples of all the nations.
Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that Christ has commanded; and know He is with us always.
We at Cathedral Baptist Jonesboro love God, each other and the people in our city. We’re confident you’ll feel right at home in our community of faith.
New here?
Walking in the first time is the hardest part. We want to make it easy.
Greeters will welcome you at the door, but no one is going to smother you. Come in, find a pew, and sit down. Sing along — or just listen. When the service is over, we hope you’ll feel comfortable enough to come back.
Dress is informal
You won’t see many suits. A couple of ties, maybe. Wear what you’d wear to a nice dinner with friends.
Your kids are cared for
Age-appropriate Bible classes on Sunday morning. Parents can listen to the sermon while kids learn at their level.
Who we are
CATHEDRAL is more than our name. It’s how we live.
Since 1971 we’ve been a Christ-centered family in Jonesboro — part of the Baptist Missionary Association of Churches, reaching our city and sending missionaries to the world.
C- Catalyst. We believe the Bible is the catalyst for transformation in a persons life. Our passion is accurate, practical, and relevant teaching of the Bible.
A- Acceptance. We believe all people matter to God and ought to matter to our church. We want everyone to experience God’s grace and love in a world suffering from sin.
T- Teamwork. We believe Jesus prayed that we would be one, just as, He and the Father are one. This unity enhances Christian growth, life-change, and ministry effectiveness in all areas of functioning.
H- Holy Spirit. We believe He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides Christians with power for daily living, understanding of spiritual truth, and power for witnessing to others. The Christian is commanded to live under the Spirit’s control every day.
E- Equipping. We believe in building up and equipping the saints for every good work. This is accomplished through the proclaiming of the Scripture, inspired by God, which is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and training in righteousness.
D- Discipleship. We believe, by Jesus’ example, there is a relational depth that can be found beyond the group experience. Capturing the power of one-to-one relationships is a powerful way to not only make disciples, but disciple-makers.
R- Reaching In. We believe 2706 Alexander Dr. in Jonesboro, AR is where God has placed us. Reaching into this community is our immediate mission field. Sending out missionaries from here to the whole world is our greater mission.
A- Adoration. We look for God’s love in our lives as the opportunity to reflect praise and adoration to Him. We celebrate together with great music, teaching and prayer.
L- Life Worth Living. We believe the real excitement in life happens when submission to God is pursued, and purpose and meaning is given to the brokenness of life. We want ALL things to be used for God’s honor and glory.
From Pastor Ken Beaver
We’d rather have you in the room. If you can’t come, come anyway.
Nothing beats an in-person visit, but you can watch recent services on YouTube or join us live on Facebook. Either way, you are welcome.
A note from the pastor
“Even as a pastor, I still ask the same questions when I visit a church for the first time. At Cathedral, we want to make joining in as easy as possible.”
Bro. Ken moved to Jonesboro from southwest Arkansas, where he pastored for 14 years. He and his wife Tara have been married since 2001 and have three children. He also serves as a licensed counselor.
