Homeport is a non-denominational, Christian Church located in Saint Augustine, FL.

We want Homeport to be a place where you can experience the deep love and acceptance of Christ as well as a meaningful relationship with others. Our desire is to help you find Homeport to be a place where you find hope. Actually we want Homeport to be synonymous with hope. We also want to be a place where you belong no matter who you are or where you've been. We are a Bible believing church that finds it’s vision and mission in the scriptures you can read below.

What is Homeport all about?

Our desire to help everyone experience the life change we have found in Jesus!

Our hope is to engage others by building relationships that lead to opportunities to share Christ through the natural ebb and flow of our lives. This is the mission the Church was given by Jesus.

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)

Jesus said he came to give us a rich and satisfying life and we find that life by living the life Jesus calls us to and by obeying all that He has commanded us to do.

We pray that as you visit our site, most of your questions about us will be answered. One thing though that a website can’t do is allow you to experience what Homeport is all about. So we pray that once you have read what we are all about, you will come and experience who we really are.

You

Are you looking for a place to belong? A church where you feel like you can connect to God and other believers? A place to grow in your faith and contribute in meaningful ways?

Us

We are a gathering of believers who want to help others find the love of Christ, just as we have. We want to grow closer to God, each other, and impact our community.

Him

God loves us more than we could ever imagine. We believe He is using Homeport to help others find a church that strives to live like Jesus and model Biblical Christianity.

Who We Are &
What We Believe

This is what we believe, and it’s who we are at the core as a church.

We are part of a fellowship of independent churches called the Restoration Movement, our desire is to “restore” the Church as revealed in the New Testament, especially as recorded in the Book of Acts. As we see in the book of Acts, Homeport celebrates Communion every Sunday and baptism by immersion. To this end we are a non-denominational church without any man-written creeds or any other barriers to Christian unity.

Even though our Churches are self-governing, we cooperate locally and worldwide in the support of missionaries, Bible Colleges, camps and other joint endeavors.

Vision: Changed Lives, Change Lives

Our Mandate: Helping Everyday People Experience The Life Changing Love of Jesus

How Do Accomplish This:

Love Well - loving God and others more than we did yesterday
Reach the Lost - joining Jesus in His mission to seek and save the lost
Equip Disciples - doing God’s work and build up the church
Unleash Compassion - seeing Jesus in every person we meet
Irrational Generosity - giving because we understand the irrational gift God has given to us

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the eternal Word, the one and only Savior.
1. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, both fully human and fully divine; Who lived a sinless life; Who suffered and was crucified as an atonement for sin; Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day; Who ascended into Heaven; and Who will return in victory to rule forever.

We believe in the Holy Spirit.

Who convicts of sin; Who indwells every Christian; Who helps us in our weakness and intercedes for us in prayer; and Who empowers us to a fruitful Christian life.

We believe God inspired the original writings of the Scripture and those original writings were consequently without error.
We believe that the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living.
We believe the Bible teaches that God is the Creator and Sustainer of human life; that God creates each person in His image; and that life is therefore sacred, from conception to natural death. We believe that God creates each person as male or female; that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the "image of God" in humankind; and that each person's biological gender is an intrinsic, immutable aspect of his or her nature and identity.
We believe the Bible teaches that God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman; that He has reserved sexual intimacy as an expression of love and commitment between married couples; and that any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin.

That man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
That salvation—the forgiveness of sins—is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.
That one receives salvation by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, and confessing Christ, and that the Bible commands every believer in Christ to be baptized by immersion.
That those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ are sent into the world to proclaim the Gospel and to love and serve the world just as Jesus Himself did.

We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere, and organized into local assemblies, called churches.

We believe the Bible teaches that every Christian should be an active partner of a local church.
We believe that the Elders & Staff of the church are the overseers of its affairs and the shepherds of its partners; that they are the final interpretive authority of the Bible's meaning and application for the church; and that they are responsible for the oversight, instruction, edification, discipline, and restoration of church members.
We believe that the Bible instructs church partners to:

Meet together regularly for fellowship, worship, teaching, and the Lord's Supper. Use our natural abilities and spiritual gifts to serve one another.
Love one another, bear with one another, accept one another, and forgive one another.
Seek unity, agreement, and peace with one another.
Encourage and build up one another.
Bear one another's burdens and pray for one another.
Spur one another to love and good deeds.
Submit to the authority of the elders of the church.
Support the church financially.
Pursue personal holiness and obedience to God's Word.
Strive together to fulfill the Great Commission.

Loving God. Loving People.
For St. Augustine.
