The 2nd Annual JCBC Jaunt 5k & Fun Run Benefitting Autrey Mill Nature Preserve

🏃‍♀️ The 2nd Annual JCBC Jaunt 5k & Fun Run

Simply put, we love our neighbors and we love being a part of the greater Johns Creek community. We are always looking for reasons to gather and ways to have some fun together, and we are always looking for ways to pour back into the community we love so much. And so, Johns Creek Baptist Church is happy to announce the 2nd annual JCBC Jaunt 5k and 1mile Fun Run! Each year, proceeds from the race go to a different community partner whose work beautifully impacts and enriches community life. This year, proceeds will benefit Autrey Mill Nature Preserve - a collection of talented and passionate people who love our neighbors too - in so many different ways!

🌳 Why We Are Supporting Autrey Mill Nature Preserve

Well...they're nice people. And they're cool. But more than that, the good folks at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve believe that every child deserves a chance to explore and discover the magic of the outdoors - regardless of ability or income.

Whether it’s the thrill of discovering a salamander on a shaded trail, the joy of roasting marshmallows at camp, learning about local history, or the quiet wonder of listening to birds sing—these experiences should be for all children, not just those who can afford it. That’s why we provide camp scholarships to families in need and thoughtfully adapt our programs for children with medical challenges and different abilities. Your support helps Autrey Mill Nature Preserve keep saying “yes” to every child who needs a place to belong, grow, and thrive in nature.

Johns Creek Baptist Church (and the whole Johns Creek Community!) is pleased to have a chance to help open the woods to everyone with the proceeds from the 2nd Annual JCBC Jaunt.
