Our Church's Story and the Current Fork in the Road
www.saintpj.com
Our church constituted on March 13, 1949 to spread the gospel to all nations as a New Testament church. First Southern Baptist Church (FSBC) in Long Beach sent 15 of their members to establish an outpost for Christ's kingdom in Bellflower. Our church aimed in the 1950's to plant a church every year. They planted 3 churches in that decade (1953, 1955, and 1957). We still have the same desire today: to be a healthy, growing, thriving church where we bear the fruit of converts, members, disciple-makers, leaders, and churches planted and revitalized. But most of us are frustrated by our lack of fruit and health. Some are doubtful this church will actually thrive again. Will evil snuff out another church's witness or will Christ's sinner-saving, curse-reversing rule come through us in Southeast LA County?
