Aspire to Go
At Aspire, we measure success by our sending capacity rather than our seating capacity. We desire to be fully engaged and authentic in our ministry and mission strategies, meaning that our national and international mission activities should build on the work we are already doing locally. This includes prayer walking, sports evangelism, refugee care, and community outreach. What we learn from our national and international work enhances our local ministry strategies as well. Learn more about different serving options listed below.

The San Marco Community Center
The San Marco Community Center (SMCC) is the local missional platform of Aspire Church. The SMCC provides gym facilities, event space, parking on Hendricks Avenue, and other amenities. We offer a wide range of activities and classes for all ages and walks of life. From personal fitness to basketball leagues, English classes to daytime preschool, music lessons to community meetings, the SMCC is ready to welcome you!
Bridge Initiative Partnerships
Aspire is proud to partner with state, national, and international missions organizations in support of the great commission. We aspire to raise awareness of our collaborative work through the Bridge Initiative in our generosity and long-term commitment to missions.
National
Christ said, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” According to recent statistics, 70 percent of Floridians identify as evangelical “believers” and that aligns with U.S. data overall. But not everyone in America has heard the truth of God’s love. Learn more about how Aspire shares God’s truth in Florida and beyond.
Global
Aspire is committed to sending and supporting missionaries all over the world, many whose are aspire members!
We prayerfully plan international missionaries in order to encourage them and learn more about their context so we can better support them. Engaging in on-the-ground ministry alongside our missionaries is a powerful experience.
Community Ministry Partner
To achieve our mission, we collaborate with local ministry partners who share our passion for loving our neighbors. This collaboration includes faith-based partnerships with Duval County Public Schools, non-profit organizations that reach out to the vulnerable in our community, and specialized ministries standing in the gaps of our city.
