PATHWAY OF ENGAGEMENT

We encourage families caring for vulnerable children to do so within the context of their community. A wrap around care community is a key component to sustaining a foster/adoptive/kinship family with the tools they need for long-term success. Members of a team will walk alongside a foster/adoptive/kinship family to help them in spiritual, emotional and practical, hands-on ways.

WE BELIEVE
the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.

WE BELIEVE
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE
in the deity and humanity of 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, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE
that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

WE BELIEVE
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

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.

WE BELIEVE
in the spiritual solidarity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial and class differences, and equal dignity of men and women.
