91013 Our Vision

In 2025, an estimated 5.56 billion people worldwide are using the Internet, representing 67.9% of the global population. That’s why JesusOnline Ministries shares the truth about Jesus and offers hope in Christ on the Internet—24 hours a day, every day!

Our vision is to share the evidence-based gospel of Jesus with 1 billion people by the end of 2030, with 30 million of those people committing their lives to Christ.

Throughout history, there have been seasons when a strategic few of Christ’s followers have had a disproportionately massive impact for His Kingdom. This is one of those seasons.

91019 Our Story

A History of God’s Blessings

Inspired by Dr. Bill Bright’s vision to reach the world for Christ, Larry Chapman began a life-long quest to investigate the evidence for the Christian faith. When approached by a Young Life leader requesting answers to help a struggling student, Larry was prompted by his wife, Marianne, to write a summary of the compelling evidence supporting Christianity.

Larry Chapman

After reviewing evidence and scholarly perspectives on both sides of these issues, he authored several articles that examine the questions and present the evidence obtained through his many years of research.

Through mutual friends, his articles were reviewed for potential publication by Dr. Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ. Dr. Bright was excited about the potential use of the articles as evangelism tools and endorsed their publication. The articles were produced by Bright Media Foundation after Dr. Bright’s death in 2003 as Y-Jesus and Y-Origins magazines.

Dr. Bill Bright

JesusOnline Ministries was created to make the content of these magazines easily available to a larger audience. The original articles were made available worldwide through the Y-Jesus.com and Y-Origins.com websites. JesusOnline Ministries then began actively promoting the articles through online advertising to attract visitors to the sites.

The Y-Jesus articles have been translated into 18 languages, with websites reaching people in every culture and country of the world.

In 2012, JesusOnline.com was developed with a focus on further outreach to young people and providing discipleship materials for spiritual growth and multiplication.

In the spring of 2020, the JO Discipleship App was launched to help visitors continue to grow in their spiritual understanding and relationship with God. It has become a community where we help members progress through the various stages of growth in their journey with God.

In recent years, JesusOnline’s outreach has surged from 85,421 decisions to follow Christ in 2019 to over 2 million in 2023.

In addition, during the past 21 years, our resources have been provided to seekers, believers, and Christian leaders. The gratitude for these resources from international missionaries and pastors has been overwhelming, as many of them live in countries where Christian literature is difficult to obtain.

91017 Our Beliefs

Statement of Faith

JesusOnline Ministries has adopted the Statement of Faith used by Campus Crusade for Christ, International. 

The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God’s infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally, and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (that is, it is inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.

We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone and that no such interpretation shall become an issue that hinders the ministry to which God has called us.

  1. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
  2. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
  3. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
  4. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
  5. He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
  6. Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
  7. Man’s nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
  8. The salvation of man is wholly a work of God’s free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.
  9. It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
  10. The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer’s life by faith.
  11. Every believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
  12. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
  13. God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
  14. At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
  15. At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
  16. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth — personally, visibly and bodily — to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
  17. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.”

“I came to this website looking to know more about Jesus. I have led a life of selfishness, vices, and bad steps. This written documentary is simply a wonderful investigation and I thank you that the tears of sincerity in my heart came from my eyes when reading certain paragraphs. I will continue to know more about Jesus.”

Jessica, Nigeria
“Your website answered a lot of the questions I have had in my mind for the longest time, questions that had prevented me from accepting Christ. Thanks to your articles and follow up emails, I have now accepted Christ and am attending church every week and have begun to read the bible.”
