Our Mission & Beliefs

Who We Are & What We Believe

At Living Manna Online Church, our mission is to inspire and equip individuals to grow in their faith, deepen their relationship with Christ, and live out the gospel in every aspect of life. Through biblically sound teaching, Spirit-led worship, and a global online community, we seek to empower believers to embrace their God-given purpose, share the message of salvation, and bring hope to a world in need. Guided by the Word of God, we are committed to nurturing spiritual transformation, fostering authentic connections, and spreading the love of Jesus to every corner of the earth.

7 Fold Mission

To Atheist and Agnostics:

As an agnostic or atheist, we understand that you have become skeptical of or have entirely rejected the claims of Christianity. We assume you have not come by this decision lightly or casually. Yet, we believe at Living Manna, we can provide a perspective that you may not have previously considered. We will never mock or talk down to you. We hope you will allow us to share why we believe that blind faith is very different from genuine faith and why the former easily leads to atheism while the latter is the key that unlocks many unanswered questions. You are welcomed here!

To the Oppressed, Injustice, and Those in Need:

We know that all too often, those who profess Christ ignore the authentic struggles some of you face daily in your communities. Here at Living Manna, we will pray for your situation, your struggle, and seek to practically help you and encourage others to do the same. We know that oppression and injustices are a very real problem, and we also believe that the Bible enables us to “seek justice” (Isaiah 1:17) and set captives free. You are welcomed here!

To Seekers of Biblical Truth:

We believe that there are thousands upon thousands, just like you, who are not satisfied with a surface understanding of the Word of God. Doctrines and teachings that ring hollow do not resonate with you. Living Manna will provide Live Food, not dead bread, to those hungering for truth. As you visit with us, we believe that you will find a difference in the bread served here; bread which will be life-changing. You are welcomed here!

To Those Struggling with Mental Health, Physical Health, and Addictions:

We realize that Mental Health, Addictions, and Sickness is a growing crisis affecting people of different backgrounds. This crisis is sadly often ignored in religious circles. We want you to know that here at Living Manna, we will do our best to provide you with the tools you will need to fight against and overcome many of these issues. From the foods we eat to the mental diet we consume, Living Manna will address and educate you on what you can do to become a better, healthier version of yourself. You are welcomed here!

To Those Who Are Weak in the Faith:

We know that many who have accepted Christ continue to struggle in their walk and maintain their Christian faith. It often feels like you’ve taken one step forward only to take three steps back. We struggle with the weaknesses we’ve cultivated over the years and with the faults we were born with. Here at Living Manna, we believe that a deeper understanding of Righteousness by Faith will lead to a better and more consistent walk with Christ. We are dedicating ourselves to providing this deeper understanding through the Word of God so that you can experience victory in your life, regardless of the Spiritual struggle you may now be facing. You are welcomed here!

To Those of Other Faiths that Doubt the Authenticity of the Bible or Christianity:

We know that one of the biggest questions in the religious world is the question of “truth.” We understand that you doubt the Bible and believe that your faith is the true and correct one. Respectfully, we would love to share with you why we believe what we believe regarding the word of God and invite you to consider the evidence. We will never talk down to you, about you, or mock your belief. You are welcomed here!

To Families and Relationships in Crisis:

Finally, we understand that you and your family are in crisis mode and that there are many variables unique to each situation. We want you to know that at Living Manna, we will provide as many tools as we can to help bring healing and atonement to your relationships. We trust that the word of God and practical counseling can heal your relationships. We welcome you here!
