We do not impose our values or beliefs on clients.

The Authority of Scripture

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate source of truth for faith, morality, and life

All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Nature of God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). He is holy, loving, and sovereign over all creation.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Human Dignity and Identity

We affirm that all people are created in the image of God  and are of infinite value and worth. We believe God created humanity as male and female, two distinct and complementary genders, both of which reflect His image and are part of His perfect design.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

The Institution of Marriage

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to be a lifelong union between one biological man and one biological woman. This union reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church and is the only Biblically sanctioned context for sexual intimacy.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

The Sanctity of Life

We affirm the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and believe that life is a sacred gift from God.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:16

Redemption Through Christ

We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God but through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, forgiveness and redemption are offered to all who repent and believe in Him.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Romans 10:9-10 Those who call on the name of The LORD will be saved.

The Call to Love and Serve

We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. 
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31
