Statement of Faith

(with scripture references)

The Foundation of Choices Pregnancy & Health is Jesus as we endeavor to model Him. Followers of Jesus (including Catholic, Protestant, & Non-denominational backgrounds) work together to carry out our mission & agree on these essentials of the Christian faith:

  1. We believe in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
    (Genesis 1:2; Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1, 4, 8, 9; John 1:1; 4:24; 14:9, 16-20; James 1:17; 2 Peter 1:21)
  2. We believe in Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son, our one and only Savior.
    (John 1:14, 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18; 1 John 4:9)
  3. We believe Jesus - both fully human & fully divine; conceived of the Holy Spirit & the Virgin Mary; died and was buried, and rose again bodily from the dead on the third day; ascended into Heaven & will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.
    (Matthew 1:18, 21:11, 24:36-42; Luke 1:26-38, 22:69; 23:44-24:8; John 1:14, 14:1-3, 19:19; 20:24-29; Acts 1:1-11; Romans 5:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Colossians 2:9, 3:1; 1 John 1:1)
  4. We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who is an active and operative part of the triune God, and who indwells every Christian.
    (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14)
  5. We believe in the Bible as God's Holy Word, Scripture. We believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture and those were consequently without error.
    (Mark 12:36; John 14:26, 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
  6. We believe the Bible teaches Men & Women were created in the image of God, but are now separated from God by sin. We also believe that faith in Jesus – based on His sacrifice on the cross - is the only way for men and women to be reconciled with God.
    (Isaiah 64:6-7; John 14:6; Acts 4:8-12; Romans 3:23, 25-26; 5:12-21, 6:23; 1 John 1:8)
  7. We believe that the Bible teaches salvation, offered through Jesus is based upon grace. Salvation therefore cannot be earned, it is a free gift from God. God lovingly offers salvation to every person - who has the freedom to accept or reject this gift from God.
    (John 3:16-18; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9)
  8. We believe the Bible teaches the Church of Jesus Christ is not limited to any one institution or denomination; it consists of all who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ to provide redemption for their sins.
    (1 Corinthians 12:12-17; Ephesians 4:4-6)
