Our Story
Sovereign King Church is a Reformed, Evangelical, and Protestant church in Jeffersonville, Indiana—a church for real people. Real sinners who have been rescued from the messes we have made and are now striving, by God’s grace, to grow into the likeness of our King. We are unapologetic in our proclamation of God’s Word—within our church, throughout our community, and beyond. The gospel transforms lives, families, culture, and cities, and we are committed to building everything upon God’s Word.
We confess: Jesus is Lord!
We proclaim: His Word to all!
We construct: Our lives upon His truth!
The Beginning
When Mark and Melissa Cox moved to Southern Indiana, they prayed that God would use their home for His glory. Mark had a vision for a confessionally Reformed and evangelistic church in their community. While years passed and the Cox family faithfully served in various cities and churches, that vision never faded.
In 2015, Mark met Joseph Spurgeon and Aaron Sabie while ministering outside the abortion mill in Louisville, Kentucky. As they labored side by side, preaching the gospel and pleading for the lives of the unborn, God knit their hearts together. Joseph, having recently graduated from seminary, sought direction for his family’s next steps. The Lord made the path clear—He gave these men a shared vision: a Reformed church that would boldly proclaim the whole counsel of God.
By late 2016, a small Bible study began in the home of the Cox family. From that study, Sovereign King Church was born. In time, the church became a church plant of Evangel Presbytery.
God’s Faithfulness in Growth

Continued Growth & God’s Blessings
The Lord has multiplied our ministry in ways we never imagined. By His grace:
Men have stepped up to lead their homes in a Christlike manner.
Women have embraced their high calling as wives and mothers.
Children are being raised in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Sinners have been called to repentance, and lives are being transformed.
In 2024, Sovereign King Church launched Sovereign King Academy, a hybrid Christian school equipping the next generation with a Christ-centered education.
In 2025, we began Sunday School to further equip our congregation with a deeper knowledge of God’s Word.
In 2025, the Lord blessed us with the ordination of a new elder Zack Jackson, strengthening the leadership of our church.
The Mission Continues
Though we are no longer a church plant, the work of planting, watering, and harvesting is far from over. The mission of Sovereign King Church is clear: to sow the Word of God throughout Southern Indiana. We will confess, proclaim, and construct—until every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.
To God be the glory!
