Vision Statement
Living Like Jesus Now Ministries exists to see lives transformed by the Gospel so that individuals not only believe in Christ but actively reflect Him in daily living — spiritually, morally, relationally, and practically.
​
Our vision is a community of believers who embody Christ’s character, demonstrate His love, and impact families, communities, and nations through authentic discipleship and Spirit-led service.
MOTTO (Vision Declaration)
“Transformed by Grace. Walking in Christ. Living His Life Now.”
​
Living Like Jesus Now Ministries exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the transforming power of God’s grace. We share both Scripture and personal testimony so that people may know that no life is beyond redemption and no situation is impossible for God.
We believe that through Christ every person is offered a new beginning. As Scripture declares:
​
Because of the finished work of Jesus, believers are not defined by their past, their failures, or their guilt. Instead, they are restored to fellowship with God:
​
​
​
​
​
Our heart is to lead people into a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and to help them experience His unconditional love, forgiveness, healing, and restoration. We proclaim that it is never too late to turn to Christ, receive His grace, and begin a new life in Him.
​
God calls us to actively reach out to others: In Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus gives a powerful mandate to His followers, instructing the church as a whole to make disciples of all nations. This encompasses not only sharing the good news of the Gospel with non-believers but also engaging in the vital acts of baptizing them into the faith and teaching them to follow God’s commandments.
​
This compassionate mission is essential because it leads to an ever-expanding community of believers—resulting in more individuals joining in fellowship, gaining a deeper understanding of spiritual truths, and ultimately offering praise and worship to God. As more people come to faith and embrace the teachings of Jesus, the body of Christ grows stronger, and we collectively bring greater glory to God.

​This affirmation not only reiterates the importance of this mission but also comforts us with the promise of Christ’s presence as we carry out this vital work.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1
Jesus reassures His followers, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” - Matthew 28:18–20
MISSION STATEMENT
Living Like Jesus Now Ministries is committed to leading individuals into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ through biblical teaching, discipleship, and Spirit-led ministry.

Preach the Gospel clearly and faithfully
-
Teach the Word of God with integrity

Restore hope to the broken

Equip believers to live a Christ-centered life daily
We affirm the following foundational biblical truths:

The Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and trustworthy Word of God

God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the Trinity)
-
Salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone
-
Jesus Christ died, was buried, and bodily rose again

Eternal life is granted to believers, and eternal separation from God to those who reject Him

Our purpose is not only conversion but transformation — helping believers grow in obedience, holiness, and daily Christlikeness. We encourage all people to know God personally, live according to His Word, and reflect Jesus in their everyday lives.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” - Romans 3:23–25
“Know Him. Follow Him. Live Like Him — Now!”
Statement of Faith (Doctrinal Affirmation)
1. The Holy Scriptures: We believe the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the final standard for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. Scripture was given by divine inspiration and reveals God’s character, will, and redemptive plan for humanity.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105)
​
2. The One True God: We believe there is one eternal God, Creator of heaven and earth, who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal in power, glory, and nature and are worthy of worship, honor, and obedience.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
​
3. The Person and Work of Jesus Christ: We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who became fully human through the virgin birth. He lived a sinless life, revealed the Father, performed miracles, and willingly died on the cross as the substitutionary sacrifice for humanity’s sins. He was bodily resurrected, ascended into heaven, and now intercedes for believers as Lord and High Priest.
(John 1:1,14; Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 4:14–15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11)
​
4. The Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who convicts the world of sin, regenerates those who believe, indwells every believer, and empowers Christians for holy living, spiritual growth, and service. The Spirit provides spiritual gifts for the edification of the Church and guidance in daily life.
(John 14:16–17; John 16:8; Romans 8:9–11; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Galatians 5:22–23)
​
5. Humanity and Sin: We believe humanity was created in the image of God but fell into sin through disobedience. As a result, all people are born with a sinful nature and are separated from God apart from salvation. Humanity cannot restore itself to righteousness by good works or moral effort.
(Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12)
​
6. Salvation: We believe salvation is the gift of God’s grace, received by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Through repentance and faith, believers are forgiven of sin, justified before God, and born again by the Holy Spirit. Good works are the result of salvation, not the means of obtaining it.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; John 3:3; Romans 10:9–10; Titus 3:5)
​
7. The Church: We believe the Church is the body of Christ composed of all born-again believers. The local church exists to worship God, teach Scripture, disciple believers, administer ordinances, fellowship in unity, and proclaim the Gospel to the world.
(Acts 2:41–47; Ephesians 4:11–13; Colossians 1:18; Matthew 28:19–20)
​
8. Ordinances: We recognize two ordinances instituted by Christ:
Water Baptism — a public declaration of faith symbolizing the believer’s death to sin and new life in Christ.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4)
The Lord’s Supper (Communion) — a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice and proclamation of His death until He returns.
(1 Corinthians 11:23–26)
9. Christian Living: We believe believers are called to live holy lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, demonstrating love, integrity, forgiveness, and obedience to God. Christians are to reflect Christ in character, conduct, and compassion toward others.
(Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–25; Colossians 3:12–17)
​
10. The Return of Christ and Final Judgment: We believe Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly. There will be a resurrection of the dead, a final judgment, and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom. Believers will experience eternal life in God’s presence, and those who reject Christ will experience eternal separation from God.
(John 14:1–3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4)
​​
1. Christ-Centered Living: We pursue a lifestyle modeled after Jesus in both character and conduct, not merely belief.
(1 John 2:6)
​
2. Biblical Authority: Scripture governs our teaching, counseling, leadership, and decision-making.
(Psalm 119:160)
​
3. Grace and Restoration: We minister healing, forgiveness, and restoration to all people, believing no life is beyond redemption.
(Galatians 6:1; John 8:11)
​
4. Discipleship and Growth: We prioritize spiritual maturity through teaching, mentoring, and accountability.
(Ephesians 4:12–15)
​
5. Love in Action: Faith must be demonstrated through compassion, service, and care for others.
(James 2:17; John 13:35)
​
​
6. Spirit-Led Ministry: We depend on the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in all ministry and leadership.
(Zechariah 4:6; Romans 8:14)
​
7. Evangelism and Testimony: We actively share the Gospel and personal testimony so others may know Christ.
(Mark 16:15; Revelation 12:11)
​
8. Unity and Community: We foster a church culture of honor, humility, and mutual encouragement.
(Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews 10:24–25)
