Our Statement of Beliefs
Statement of Faith
- 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.
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that this salvation is received through faith alone in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life and that they are lost unto eternal separation from God.
- We seek to follow Him – in His identification with the poor, the afflicted, the oppressed, the marginalized; in His special concern for children; in His respect for the dignity bestowed by God on women equally with men; in His challenge to unjust attitudes and systems; in His call to share resources with each other; in His love for all people without discrimination or conditions; in his offer of new life through faith in Him. From Him we derive our holistic understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, which forms the basis or our response to human need.
- We believe that God is the author and creator of life, and that we are created in His likeness and image. As such, we believe and affirm that all life has inherent value, worth, and dignity because it is created by God. Based on inherent value, we seek to protect and care for life in all stages of God’s creation, from conception to natural death.
- We also affirm the inherent dignity and humanity of all women who come to us in need and recognize their vulnerability and often the difficult circumstances in which they have been placed. Accordingly, our love of God and service to our Lord Jesus Christ requires that we love and serve those in need, which extends not only to providing services through birth, but also a holistic approach that continues to care for and minister to the bodily and spiritual needs of mother, child and family after birth.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sanctity of Human Life Statement
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. We believe and affirm that life begins at conception, at which time the full genetic blueprint for life is in place. Accordingly, we believe that our expression of love and service to God requires that we work to protect and honor life in all stages of creation. As well, we believe and affirm that God’s calling upon us commands that we make special efforts to protect the most vulnerable among us. As such, we view life from conception through birth to be uniquely vulnerable, and therefore work to protect and defend life in these early stages. We do not provide or prescribe contraceptive medications that may harm an embryo and we will never provide abortifacient medications under any circumstances.
Marriage & Sexuality Statement
- We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female and that these two distinct, complimentary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God. Accordingly, our communication with clients and all other persons reflects the reality of God’s created order – using male pronouns to refer to those persons who were created biologically male and female pronouns to refer to those persons who were created biologically female.
- We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur within that union.
- We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful.
- We believe that to preserve the function and integrity of The Pregnancy Center as the local Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to The Pregnancy Center members and the community, it is to be expected that all persons employed by or serving in a volunteer capacity at The Pregnancy Center agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage & Sexuality.
- We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
- We believe every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of The Pregnancy Center.
