MISSION & VISION
MISSION
To Love People to Life Before, During and After a Pregnancy Decision
VISION
To build a vibrant community where every life is valued, loved, protected and transformed because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
WE WAIT ON GOD.
We wait on God and the power of His Word because we are confident of who He is and what He is able to do. We wait on Him with confident expectation and trust Him to act, lead, respond, direct, and provide.
Psalm 62:1, 5:
“For God alone my soul waits in silence...
my hope is from him.”
We champion love by loving God and loving people as He loves them. Not one person, circumstance, sin, or story will find the end of His love expressed through us. We choose to be imitators of Christ and His great love for us; for His love unleashes life!
Ephesians 5:1-2:
“You are the children that God dearly loves.
So be just like him. Lead a life of love, just
as Christ did. He loved us and gave himself
for us...”
WE CHAMPION LOVE.
WE extend grace.
We extend grace because we are recipients
of unlimited grace. Leading others to the
free and redemptive grace of God is our
greatest privilege.
Romans 3:23:
“...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came through Christ Jesus.”
We demonstrate the Truth who is Christ Jesus. We live in a culture that clings to “my truth” rather than The Truth. We will be living demonstrations of His unchanging Truth regarding life, love, marriage, family, and sexuality, as given to us in the Word of God.
3 John 1:3-4:
“Some believers came to me and told me that you are faithful to the truth... I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living by the truth.”
we demonstrate truth.
We Value Every Life
We value every life from conception to natural death; those with great ability to those with limits on their abilities.
God has created each in His own image and has a plan for them. We care for every life; mother, father, child (both born and unborn) because of their great value to God and to us.
Genesis 1:26:
“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.“
We respect choice because God gives us the freedom to choose. We trust His work in the lives of others as they are presented with important life choices. We provide godly guidance and will always point them to God’s best plan for their life.
Jer. 29:11-12: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future…when you seek me…I will be found by you and bring you back from captivity.”
we respect choice.
WE foster wholeness.
We foster wholeness because God has intricately woven us together. He intends for every aspect of our being; physical, relational, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional, to be healthy and free to live the abundant life He has promised.
Proverbs 4:23
“And above all else, guard your heart, for everything
you do flows from it.”
We cultivate community by caring for our neighbors as God has instructed. It is important for us to engage with men, women, families, schools, churches, and other organizations to ensure a thriving community.
1 Peter 4:10:
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
we cultivate community.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
(2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
GOD
-
FATHER: We believe that God the Father
is the Supreme Being, Creator, and Sustainer, deserving of human worship and obedience. (Eph. 4:6; John 10:30;
I John 3:1; Galatians 3:26)
-
SON/JESUS: 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. ((Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25, John 1:14; Romans.5:19; 5:21; 1 Corinthians. 15: 3-5)
-
HOLY SPIRIT: 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. (Romans 8: 9-11; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; II Corinthians 6:16; II Timothy 1:14)
HUMAN DESTINY/REDEMPTION
We believe that God set a plan in place to save humanity from itself. Left to ourselves, we would spend eternity in hell because of our sin. God graciously sent Jesus to die in our place, so that when we choose him, we can choose God and heaven. (Ephesians 1:7-14; Colossians 1:20-22; Psalm 111:9)
SALVATION
We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, in need of salvation and that God’s plan of salvation is lovingly based on his grace, not human works. Only Jesus’ righteousness is acceptable to God the Father. Repenting of sin and accepting Christ as Savior makes us justified, or righteous in God’s eyes. (Acts 16:30; 2 Cor. 5:21; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
UNIQUE CREATION
We believe in God as the divine Creator and sustainer of life and the universe, we believe that He created man uniquely in His own image. (Genesis 1-2, Colossians 1:16-17,
John 1:3
MARRIAGE
We believe in the Biblical model of marriage and family, as described in Genesis 2:24 as being between one man (Adam) and one woman (Eve) united together physically, emotionally, and spiritually. (Eph. 5:21;6:4;
II Cor. 3:18,21; 1 Peter 3:17)
CHILDREN
We believe that children are a blessing of the Lord and should be welcomed. (Psalm 127:3;
Mark 10:13)
BODY OF CHRIST
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. And as the body of Christ, we are commanded to love one other, in word, deed, and truth, and to be imitators of God, walking in love, just as Christ loved us.(Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23-24,
1 John 3:18, John 15:12, 1 Cor. 13:1-13; Ephesians 5:1-2)
