Our Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the
inspired, the only infallible
authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God,
eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord
Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in
His sinless life, in His miracles, in
His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father, and in His
personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of
lost and sinful man, regeneration by the
Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and
that this salvation is received through
faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
and not as a result of good works.
We believe in the present ministry of
the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly
life and to perform good works.
We believe in the resurrection of both
the saved and the lost; they that are
saved unto the resurrection of life and
they that are lost unto the resurrection
of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of
believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Statement of Principle
The pregnancy center is an outreach
ministry of Jesus Christ through His
church. Therefore, the pregnancy center,
embodied in its volunteers, is committed
to presenting the gospel of our Lord to
women with crisis pregnancies both in
word and in deed. Commensurate with this
purpose, those who labor as pregnancy
center board members, directors, and
volunteers are expected to know Christ
as their Savior and Lord.
The pregnancy center is committed to
providing its clients with accurate and
complete information about both prenatal
development and abortion.
The pregnancy center is committed to
integrity in dealing with clients,
earning their trust, and providing
promised information and services. The
pregnancy center denounces any form of
deception in its corporate advertising
or individual conversations with its
clients.
The pregnancy center is committed to
assisting women carry to term by
providing emotional support and
practical assistance. Through the
provision of God's people and the
community at large, women may face the
future with hope and plan constructively
for themselves and their babies.
The pregnancy center does not
discriminate in providing services
because of race, creed, color, national
origin, age, or marital status of its
clients.
The pregnancy center does not
recommend, provide, or refer for
abortion or abortifacients.
The pregnancy center offers assistance
free of charge at all times.
The pregnancy center is committed to
creating an awareness within the local
community of the needs of pregnancy
women, and of the fact that abortion
only compounds human need rather than
resolving it.
The pregnancy center does not
recommend, provide, or refer single
women for contraceptives. (Married women
seeking contraceptive information should
be urged to seek counsel, along with
their husbands, from their pastor and
physician.)
The pregnancy center recognizes the
validity of adoption as an alternative
to abortion, but is not biased toward
adoption when compared to the other
life-saving alternatives. Pregnancy
centers interacting with independent
adoption agencies shall assure that
referrals are made in a manner that
fully protects the interests of clients
and avoids any conflicts of interest.
Adoption agencies may only be
established under the auspices of
centers if they meet strict standards to
assure that pregnancy clients shall be
served with out any conflicts of
interest.
