All employees, volunteers and interns are required to agree with our core documents as listed below.
The Nicene Creed
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including all pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect and value all human life. Psalm 119:73, 139:13, Isaiah 44:2 & 24.
We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of monogamous marriage between a biological male and a biological female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female and these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. Genesis 1:26-27 and 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6- 9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final source of all that we believe as interpreted and applied by our governing board. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God and the final authority concerning morality and conduct of mankind. For purposes of the Center’s religious foundations, our board of directors in consultation with Pastoral input is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

In 1995, after five years of planning, we opened our first Center in Madras.

We are a faith-based organization and are not affiliated with religious entities and offer services freely to all who enter our doors.
