Church on the Street of Jacksonville FL (COTS Jax) is a
private Community Service. We provide a private residential reentry program that
helps lower the recidivism rate by helping to transition ex-offenders. We also
provide a temporary shelter for traveling evangelists.
COTS House was formed out of
obedience to the Lord's commands found in Matthew 25:40
"Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My
brethren, you did it to Me"
