Hence, human life should be safeguarded and protected from the moment of conception until natural death. Therefore, the MISSION of Choices Clinic is to serve our community by empowering individuals to make life-affirming decisions through confidential medical services, education, and emotional support while compassionately sharing Biblical truth and Christ’s love. In addition, for anyone who has been affected by abortion, Choices Clinic will offer a program to facilitate healing through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. We shall demonstrate our conviction within the bounds of Christian character and love, looking to the Scriptures to be our model and the Holy Spirit to be our Guide. Therefore, the VISION shall be: 1) To be the FIRST CHOICE in our community for women and families facing unplanned pregnancies. 2) To eliminate the need for abortion by providing life-giving alternatives including parenting and adoption. 3) To educate our community from a biblical perspective on sexual health (including sexual purity and STDs) and pregnancy options. Section Buttons Next Statement of Faith 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. 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 His personal return in power and glory. 4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and not as a result of good works. 5. 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. 6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
