Living Sacrifice Ministries
Vision Statement:
Our founders, Pastors Robert and Janet Clausen were called
of God to be a beacon of light and encouragement to those in our community who
are lost, hurting, who love the Lord but struggle from day to day on where and
how to stand for the Lord. They were shown by God that there is a greater need
to restore family units and relationships, to help build new Godly families,
and build up, prepare and train younger generations for their future, in service to God, for their
adult life, raising families, and for the responsibilities ahead of them.
They know that through the Lord Jesus Christ only can we
build a strong foundation of Faith, Hope, Trust and Joy in our lives and that
Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven and this is the ONLY true and Godly way to
restore our hurting and struggling families and marriages.
Our first priority is for our local community, then to branch outward to our County, State and ULTIMATELY Nationwide as the Lord directs and provides. We are to follow the Great Commandment of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to help Advance and Increase the Kingdom of God
God revealed to us that it would not be until our families
are restored and standing strong on the Lord Jesus Christ, that churches would be fully restored to be the cornerstone in our communities, of seeking the lost,
winning them to Christ.
We believe the scriptures, “…Every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation: and every city or house divided against itself shall not
stand.” Matthew 12:25
As a Ministry, our place here in our local community is to
minister to the Local Churches, Church Families, and to Broken Lives everywhere
that can we can reach. We are to bring the Message of God to all, whether
through music, congregational and pastoral care, coaching, preaching,
mentoring, or prayer, and we know this message is to be shared throughout the
homes, streets, highways, bi-ways, and through the local church. It is our hope
and prayer that churches, ministries, and
others in our community will find a place to use Living Sacrifice Ministry as
another mission, evangelistic tool, or any other format to reach the Lost and
to point others God.
God’s message of Love, hope, restoration, and healing comes
in many forms, with the times in our country being so wicked and unsure for the
Christian Believer. We believe that it will take unity of the believers,
working together to build Our Most Holy Faith in One God, the Holy Ghost, and
Our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. In one faith, built up and grounded in the
Holy Scriptures, believing, hoping, and preaching the Gospel to all who will
hear.
Our ministry is an independent and nondenominational ministry; as we are called to be ministers
of God, we must teach and preach the Gospel of Christ, His Shed Blood, the
Death, Burial, and His Resurrection to all, who will hear. We must show them that they can be saved, through believing on this Gospel and on
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and seeking forgiveness for their sins. When they choose to pray this prayer of salvation, we need to help them understand they have chosen to give their heart and lives to Christ. We need to help them understand; that true repentance (change) in their hearts, asking God to forgive them of their sins, and giving their Lives to Christ, is forever.
Knowing this process is not instant, we must teach and disciple each individual of the daily process of growing in faith, and in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. It starts with a daily choice to renew their minds, and separate themselves, HOLY and TOTALLY to God for His service. In this process, they will learn to submit to God's calling in their lives, in whatever capacity He calls them.
As mentors and leaders in this process, it is our part to teach them how to serve God as they submit to His will, and that we all are all called by the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 and in Mark 16:15-16

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world, Amen.”
Mark 16:15-16
