Our Story

From Sermon to Transformation

One question ignited a journey of whole-person healing since 2001
In 1999, at Henderson Hills Baptist Church, the Holy Spirit began stirring hearts with an undeniable call.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Luke 4:18-19

If Jesus cared for people’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, shouldn’t we?

This question ignited everything.

The Problem We Solve

Seeds of Ministry

What started as a sermon series became a ten-month journey of seeking, praying, and planning. A dedicated team of church members felt God’s clear direction to create something unprecedented in Central Oklahoma—a ministry that would demonstrate Jesus’ love through professional healthcare excellence.

In 2001, Ministries of Jesus medical clinic opened its doors.

Recovery Ministry Begins

When a young man struggling with addiction wandered into a church service and asked for help, God made it clear this was the missing piece. Celebrate Recovery® Program launched, completing the circle of whole-person care.

The Care Center™

Decades of ministry crystallized into our current integrated approach—The Care Center™—where medical, dental, vision, counseling, recovery, and social services work together seamlessly under The Jesus Way™.

The Fruit of Faithfulness

Today, Ministries of Jesus stands as Central Oklahoma’s only organization offering integrated healthcare, counseling, and recovery services. We’ve served thousands of families, demonstrating that when you follow Jesus’ example of compassionate care, transformation happens at every level—physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual.

“Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23

What began as a question during a sermon has become a movement of hope, proving that the gospel remains powerfully relevant in addressing modern human needs. Every day, we continue asking the same question that started it all: What is Jesus calling us to do?

The answer keeps unfolding through every life transformed, every family restored, and every
heart opened to the love of Christ.
