About Jabez Ministries

Our Story

In 2022, Pastor Tony Lowden founded Jabez Ministries as an online ministry with the vision of breaking down barriers that prevent God’s children from worshiping, while providing an experience that feels as close as possible to in-person worship. Pastor Lowden revitalized online worship to bring people virtually into the House of the Lord. Reaching communities nationwide, Jabez Ministries allows individuals to come together face-to-face, free from distractions, whether they are at home, in their prayer closet, or even on vacation. Everyone is welcome to join in the Word with Jabez Ministries.

Our Mission

Inspire individuals to seek God’s blessings and guidance through the Jabez Prayer. Rooted in 1 Chronicles 4:10, we encourage spiritual growth, prayer, and faith, believing in God’s power to bless, expand influence, and protect. We are committed to uplifting communities and spreading hope through compassion and faith.

Our Vision

Empower individuals and communities to experience transformation through prayer, receiving God’s blessings, expanded influence, and divine protection. We strive to create a world where faith and compassion lead every action, guiding people to fulfill God’s purpose, embrace His grace, and share His love with others.
