Rev. Dr. Jeffrey W. Beebe, Pastor, tpc-jeff@cfl.rr.com
Rev. Dr. Jeff Beebe is currently serving as Trinity Presbyterian’s Pastor. On February 7, 2021 the Trinity Congregation unanimously accepted the recommendation of the Pastoral Nominating Committee for Rev. Beebe to serve. Jeff, a native Floridian, holds degrees from Florida State University (1987), Columbia Theological Seminary (1994), and Fuller Theological Seminary (2012). Prior to serving at Trinity, he served a number of congregations throughout the southeast. For Rev. Beebe, the Church’s responsibility of “making disciples” is the primary theological issue facing the Church today. That role in making disciples begins in the baptismal vows and extends to the ends of the earth as the Church is sent forth in mission. The Church’s task is to make disciples who are authentically walking with Christ and who are fully engaged in faithful practices of discipleship (worship, study, service, sharing, and fellowship). Theologically, to know Christ and to make Him known are the tasks to which the Church is called. As the Church grounds herself in faithful practices of discipleship the Church models Christ’s life. The Church is better able to see in the way Christ would see, hear in the way Christ would hear, and is better able to understand in the way Christ would understand. Understood theologically, the Church exists to make disciples, so that, they would be Christ’ presence in the world. In and through the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, disciples are able to live, and move, and have their being, so that, they too would go and make disciples.
