From the Pastor's Desk
Holy Greetings & Praise The Lord Everyone!
It is my honor to welcome you to the official website for The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostles & Prophets Faith. We are humbled to be a Holy, royal people, chosen by God Almighty to serve and worship him in the beauty of Holiness.
We are thankful that God loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ---that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life!
We welcome you to share the joy that we’ve found in Jesus Christ and come by and worship the Lord with us on Sundays and Wednesdays! We stand firm on God's Holy Scriptures, and believe what is written in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
If you have any biblical questions, need prayer, baptism or encouraging words about Jesus please call 850-656-7708, or email me at churchoffice850@gmail.com .
Peace and love be unto you, and remember to always endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace!
Your Brother in Christ,
Bishop John L. Butler Jr.
Who We Are
Established in the 1950s, The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostles & Prophets Faith has been a cornerstone of our community for over 70 years. We have a rich history of serving others and sharing the message of Christ with all who will listen. We live by faith in the Son of God who loves us and gave Himself for us, and because of him we are who we are in Him!
We Are A Holy, Special People:
Deuteronomy 7:6-8
“For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you...."
We Are a Chosen Generation:
1 Peter 2:9
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
We Are a Part of the Body of Christ:
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
