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.

There’s a place for every age.

Open this ministry →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.
Catalyst
The Bible is the catalyst for transformation. We teach it accurately, practically, and relevantly.
Acceptance
All people matter to God, and they ought to matter to our church.
Teamwork
Jesus prayed that we would be one. Unity grows us and our ministry.
Holy Spirit
He lives in every Christian and gives power for daily life and witness.
Equipping
We build up the saints for every good work through the Scriptures.
Discipleship
Life-on-life relationships make disciples who make disciples.
Reaching in
2706 Alexander Drive is our mission field. From here, we also send.
Adoration
We celebrate together with music, teaching, and prayer.
Life worth living
Purpose is found in submitting to God — even in the broken places.
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.
