About Us

What We Believe

In the one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinite in love, perfect in judgments, and unchanging in mercy. God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the divine inspiration, truthfulness, and authority of both the Old and New Testaments, the only written Word of God, without error in all it affirms. The Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Holy Spirit preserves God’s Word in the church today and by it speaks God’s truth to people of every age;

That human beings were created in the image of God. This image was marred in every part through the disobedience of our first parents, and fellowship with God was broken. God, in His prevenient grace, restores moral sensibility to all humankind and enables all to respond to His love and to accept His saving grace, if they will;

That Jesus Christ is God’s Son, incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. He died for the sins of all, taking on Himself, on behalf of sinful persons, God’s judgment upon sin. In His body, he rose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for us;

That the Holy Spirit is God present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was given to the church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ lives in His church, the gospel is proclaimed, and the kingdom of God is manifested in the world;

That God graciously justifies and regenerates all who trust in Jesus Christ. Believers become children of God and begin to live in holiness through faith in Christ and the sanctifying Spirit;

That God calls all believers to entire sanctification in a moment of full surrender and faith subsequent to their new birth in Christ. Through sanctifying grace, the Holy Spirit delivers them from all rebellion toward God and makes possible wholehearted love for God and for others. This grace does not make believers faultless nor prevent the possibility of their falling into sin. They must live daily by faith in the forgiveness and cleansing provided for them in Jesus Christ;

That all believers are assured that they are children of God by the inward witness of God’s Spirit with their spirits, by faith in the gracious promises of God’s Word, and by the fruit of the Spirit in their lives;

That Christians are called to live in daily witness to the grace which comes to us in Jesus Christ, to preach the gospel to every person according to the command of Christ, and to declare God’s insistence upon righteousness and justice in all relationships and structures of human society;

That the Church is the people of God composed of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Church is Christ’s body; it is visible in the world wherever believers, in obedience of faith, hear the Word, receive the sacraments and live as disciples;

In the personal return of Jesus Christ, in the bodily resurrection of all persons, in final judgment and in eternal reward and punishment;

In God’s ultimate victory over Satan and all evil and the establishment of His perfect kingdom in a new heaven and a new earth.

How We Started

Our Story


Christ Methodist Church is a Bible-centered church in Port St. Joe, Florida, where people can experience authentic worship, clear, practical teaching, and a real relationship with Jesus Christ. We exist for people who are searching, rebuilding, or ready to go deeper in their faith. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just beginning to ask questions about God, this is a place where you can come as you are, think honestly, and take your next step without pressure or pretense.


Our story began in the summer of 2024, when a small group of local believers sensed God leading them to start something new. What followed was a series of moments that felt less like planning and more like providence. In a remarkable act of generosity, a local Anglican congregation gifted their church building—along with its furnishings and property—to this new Methodist community. It was unexpected, humbling, and defining. From the beginning, Christ Methodist Church has been shaped by the belief that God is still at work, still providing, and still calling people to step out in faith.


Today, Christ Methodist Church is a growing Christian church where people of all backgrounds are finding hope, belonging, and direction. Our gatherings are simple and intentional—worship that is genuine, teaching that is rooted in Scripture and easy to understand, and a community where you’re known, not just another face in the room. Families, young adults, and those new to faith are discovering that following Jesus isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about learning to trust Him one step at a time.


As part of the Global Methodist Church, we are committed to historic Christian belief and to living out a faith that is active, not just theoretical. We believe real life change happens over time as people encounter Jesus, grow in community, and begin to live out their faith in everyday life. If you’re looking for a church in Port St. Joe where you can grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, and experience the presence of God in a real way, you’ll find that here.
