Statement of Faith [ Back to top ]

Lifechangers subscribes to the following statement of faith:

We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, inerrant, and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death, and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His present priestly ministry. We believe in Christ's imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe that sanctification, holiness, and the overcoming life is God's design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved unto resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ with equality across denominational, racial, gender, and class differences.

History [ Back to top ]

Lifechangers expresses its history as follows:

Bob Mumford is a dynamic Bible teacher with a unique and powerful gift for imparting the Word of God. His anointed messages are remembered years afterwards, because he captivates his audiences by humor in the form of word pictures, which penetrate deep into hearts with incredible authority, clarity and personal application. Since 1954, thousands of Christians worldwide have attributed their spiritual growth and determination to follow Jesus Christ to his prophetic teaching, helping them understand Father God and His Kingdom.

Bob has written for major Christian periodicals both in the United States and abroad and published several books including Take Another Look at Guidance, The King & You, Fifteen Steps Out, Living Happily Ever After and The Purpose of Temptation. He has also published numerous booklets called Plumblines, including Renegade Male and a series on Inheritance. Bob’s writings have been translated into many different languages.

Bob has a heart for backsliders, having come to the Lord at age 12 only to stray from God a few months later. During this time, when he was 13, his parents divorced creating the need to quit school and work to help support his mother and five sisters. At 20 years old, he joined the U.S. Navy as a Medic. Bob would go with his Navy buddies to the bar and end up preaching to those in the bar the necessity to repent of their sins and come to Christ. Even then the “Hound of Heaven” was pursuing him!

While on leave from the Navy, Bob attended a church service one evening. He was overcome by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and literally ran to the altar. After being away from God for 12 years, the Lord cleaned up his heart and gave him new purpose and direction, calling him specifically to “Feed My Sheep.”

After completing his High School education in the Navy and then graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Bible from Valley Forge Christian College, Bob Mumford attended the University of Delaware and then received his Masters of Divinity degree from Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia. Over the years, he has served as a pastor, as Dean and Professor of New Testament and Missions at Elim Bible Institute. In 1972, he founded Lifechangers, Inc. to distribute his teaching materials all over the world where he has traveled extensively to some 50 nations as an international conference speaker. His materials have been translated into 25 different languages.

Today he is considered to be a spiritual “Papa” to thousands of Christians. His ministry has been to prophetically proclaim and teach the sufficiency of Christ Jesus and His Kingdom in a manner which promotes reconciliation and unity in the Body of Christ. Bob seeks to bring about personal spiritual change and growth in the life of every believer, regardless of denominational persuasion. His unique style of humor is designed to keep you smiling so it isn’t too painful when the truth of his teach hits home. Such high intensity in the Holy Spirit accompanied by his pointed, colorful delivery, enables him to impact his audiences, making hearing him teach an unforgettable experience.
