My name is Damon Joseph and I am the Pastor of Christ Bible Church. I was born in Harlan, KY, but currently live in Kingsport, TN. My family and I moved here at a young age, and I have spent most of my life in the area. My wonderful wife, Mandy, grew up in Gate City, VA. We have been married 11 years and have 6 children: Anna (11), Elise (9), Daniel (7), Hudson (5), Samuel (2) and Haddon (<1). I came to know Christ at the age of 15 as a result of the faithful service and witness of a school-mate. It wasn’t until I faithfully attended a church centered on the Word of God and sat under sound Biblical preaching that I became grounded in the Truth. By the leadership of the Spirit of God I answered call into the ministry at the age of 24. I finished a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing that I was currently working on. I didn’t understand it at the time, but God used that career to enable me to faithfully support my family while furthering my education in Seminary just 1 year later. Upon completing my Seminary work, I had the privilege of assisting other local Pastors in the ministry and as an Associate Pastor for a period of time.

Christ Bible Church is the fruit of the work of God in the heart of several Christians to plant a Reformed Baptist Church in the heart of East Tennessee. We have a great love for God and a great burden for this community. We are praying that the people of the Tri-cities come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! Please pray with us as we seek the salvation of the lost and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom in the Tri-cities area of East Tennessee!
