Mephibosheth Ministries - Mission Statement

It is our desire to empower individuals who have disabilities to live within their community just as King David did with Mephibosheth according to 2 Samuel 9:1-13.  

This empowerment will be accomplished as we work together in showing God’s loving kindness and encouragement for their spiritual growth.  The ministry enables the individual who has a disability to discover their God-given talents with opportunities to use them for His Glory in their community.

Our Core Values

Following are the Core Values of Mephibosheth Ministries, Inc.:

  1. That all people are made in God’s image in order to serve Him in all the arenas of life.
  2. That human life has become broken through sin, and one of sin’s consequences is suffering
  3. That Christ bears our griefs, carries our sorrows, and heals our brokenness in body and spirit.
  4. That in order to live fully, now and forever, we must have a personal faith in Jesus as Savior.
  5. That we are called to personal salvation and a life of thankful and obedient response.

Our confession has at least the following implications:

  1. Christ clearly teaches the sanctity of life, no matter how severe the disabling condition.
  2. Christ’s example and the law of love demand that we compassionately respond to the needs of persons who have disabilities and to their families; we must walk together in our suffering.
  3. We must remove any architectural, attitudinal or communication barriers that impede the message of salvation or hinder the participation of any person in the life of the church.
  4. We must enable the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of all persons so they may be faithful stewards of the gifts God has given and may respond obediently to God’s call of discipleship.
  5. We must make public the gifts of people whom society defines as disabled, so they may participate mutually in our interdependent family.

Our Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative word of God. 
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  • We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved unto life and those who are lost unto eternal damnation.
