Who We Are

St. Joe Church of Christ is here to CONNECT people with God and each other, to provide an atmosphere where we can GROW our faith in God, and to SERVE one another in the name of Christ.

 What We Believe

  1. St. Joe Church of Christ is a congregation that recognizes the Bible as God’s inspired and authoritative word (2 Timothy 3:16).

     

  2. We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s only son and that He is literally God in the flesh; becoming a man after already existing as God in Heaven (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:17).

     

  3. We believe that Jesus died on the cross, on purpose, so that He might be the perfect sacrifice for our sins (Romans 5:1-8).

     

  4. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after He was crucified. His resurrection demonstrated His power over death and validated His words and ministry (1 Corinthians 15:3-7).

     

  5. We believe that Jesus will return some day to take us to be with Him in Heaven, and that He will reign with absolute power and authority (Matthew 24:36-44, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).

     

  6. We believe that a person needs to accept Jesus Christ to be saved from sin and to go to Heaven (John 3:16; 14:6).

     

  7. We believe the way to be saved is found in the Bible. It says that a person must hear and believe that Jesus is God’s Son (Romans 10:14); they must understand that they have fallen short of God’s Glory by sinning against God (Romans 3:23); they must realize that they cannot make it to heaven on their own merits: it is by God’s grace that we are given the opportunity to be saved (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 6:23); they must confess their belief in Christ and be willing to place their trust in Him (Romans 10:11); they must be baptized (immersion) into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-7).

     

  8. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells true believers and acts as a Counselor, Comforter, Teacher, Developer of spiritual fruits and Giver of spiritual gifts (John 14:25,26; Galatians 5:22,23; I Corinthians 12:4-6; Ephesians 4:11-13).

     

    9. We believe the church is God’s people (Matthew 16:18), consisting of those who are saved in Christ. The church is to give glory to God in worship (Ephesians 5:19,20); to evangelize (Matthew 28:19); and to teach the believers how to bring glory and honor to Jesus in their lifestyles (Ephesians 4:5), recognizing Him as Head of the church (Ephesians 5:23).

 
We know that is a lot to take in, so just
Come & See!

    Ready and Able
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Do you believe that God can use you? Do you believe that God will equip you to do things in His name? Do you have faith that God will reward you when you are faithful to His Word? What we say and how we act are vitally important and must match each other, so that we can be good servants of Christ. You are able to do this because He has equipped you to do this, for His glory and for His Kingdom. Check out this message from Luke 19. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #AuthenticIn2019 #readyandable #Luke

    Comparison
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    In Luke 18 we see four comparisons. The Pharisee/The Sinner, The Adults/The Children, The Rich Young Ruler/Jesus, The Crowd/The Blind Beggar. These comparisons are areas that can keep us from God or can be ways we grow nearer to Him. As we dig through Luke 18, we honestly and authentically find the need to admit that we need God. Have you? Check out this message and let us know what you think. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #AuthenticIn2019 #comparisons #Luke
