Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the 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 atonement of sin on the cross, 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 individuals are saved by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ in His life, death, and resurrection.
We believe that the resulting regeneration of the Holy Spirit empowers them to live godly lives and perform good works.
We believe in the eventual resurrection of all mankind; at which time God will separate the righteous in Christ, from the unrighteous, for eternal judgment.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Core Values
1. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
The love of Christ compels us to honor and follow him as our LORD in word and deed; to encourage, admonish, and love one another, openly expressing our faith in the workplace; and to be a faithful witness to our neighbors, freely sharing the gospel message of repentance, reconciliation with God, and new spiritual life through Jesus.
(2 Corinthians 5:14–15; Romans 12:10; Colossians 1:28 & 3:16)
2. Dependence on God
Aware that we are called by God to work in service that we cannot accomplish successfully on our own, we eagerly express our dependence on God through prayer, fasting, meditation on Scripture, assembly of the saints, and other acts of worship.
(Psalm 143:1; Ezra 8:23; Matthew 6:16; Joshua 1:8; Hebrews 10:23–25; Romans 12:1)
3. High View of Human Sexuality
We affirm and promote God’s call to sexual integrity for all people. Recognizing that sexual intimacy is designed for enjoyment only within biblical marriage between one biological man and one biological woman, we also promote healing and restoration where people have experienced sexuality in broken ways. We value both singleness and marriage as good gifts from God, within which he empowers his people to live with integrity and to serve others. Faithful, healthy, loving marriage remains the ideal context for nurturing children physically, emotionally, and socially; further, Christian covenantal marriage provides the best foundation for training children spiritually so that they will have the abundant life that God intends.
(1 Corinthians 6:18; Matthew 19:4–6; Isaiah 56:1–7; Matthew 19:2; 1 Corinthians 7:8, 32–35; Hebrews 13:4; Deuteronomy 6:4–9; Ephesians 6:1–4; John 10:10)
4. Cherishing Life
Humanity is created by God and in his own image and is therefore of great value. Each human life is a gift from God, worthy of respect from conception until natural death, without regard to perceived ability, quality of life, or factors beyond basic humanity.
(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13–16; Psalm 127:3; Luke 1:41)
5. Integrity
All of our dealings are honest, ethical, and transparent. We value integrity, humility, authenticity, and responsible stewardship in our relationships with employees, volunteers, supporters, service recipients, and the public.
(Micah 6:8; Romans 12:10; Matthew 5:16; Proverbs 11:3; Titus 2:7–8; Colossians 3:23–24)
6. Service with Compassion
We show love for our neighbors through practical acts of service, provided in a compassionate way that respects the dignity of every person. We promote justice for and give mercy to those who lack support emotionally, socially, financially, and/or spiritually, with a particular emphasis on service that empowers people to make life-affirming decisions.
(James 1:27; Psalm 145:9; Ephesians 2:10; Micah 6:8; Galatians 6:10; Jeremiah 29:4–7; Isaiah 58:10–11; Mark 12:31; Psalm 82:3; Proverbs 14:31; Isaiah 1:17; Colossians 3:12)
7. Interdenominational Christ-centered Ministry
We will work together for the common good of this life-affirming ministry with all members of the Body of Christ, united by our saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 4:1-6; John 17:20-23; 1 Corinthians 1:10; John 13:34-35; Galatians 3:26-28; Philippians 2:4; Acts 4:32; 1 Peter 3:8; Philippians 1:27; Romans 15:5-7)
