TREE OF LIFE

VISION STATEMENT Our vision is to see all people living in vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, looking to Him for guidance and direction, in order to make healthy, biblical decisions for their lives and families. MISSION STATEMENT We believe in the sanctity of all human life, from the moment of conception until natural death. Consequently, it is the mission of TOLPSC to provide all women with compassionate, life-affirming care and counseling for their needs, whether they be medical, spiritual, emotional, social or material. 

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only 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 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 in His personal return in power and glory. 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. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to represent Jesus and love others. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. 

The Tree of Life Pregnancy Support Center (TOLPSC) is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ and is therefore committed to presenting the Gospel of our Lord to women, men and families who seek our assistance. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as TOLPSC board members, directors and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord. TOLPSC is committed to providing its clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion. TOLPSC is committed to integrity in dealing with clients, earning their trust, providing promised information and services, and eschewing any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual conversations. TOLPSC is committed to assisting women to carry to term by providing emotional support and practical assistance. Through the provision of God’s people and the community at large, women may face the future with hope and plan constructively for themselves and their babies. TOLPSC does not discriminate in providing services because of the race, creed, color, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation or marital status of its clients. TOLPSC does not recommend, provide, or refer for abortion or abortifacients. TOLPSC offers assistance free of charge at all times. TOLPSC is committed to creating awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant women and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need rather than resolving it. TOLPSC does not recommend, provide, or refer for hormonal contraceptives. Married women seeking contraceptive information are encouraged to explore NFP (Natural Family Planning) as well as seeking counsel, along with their husbands, from their pastor and physician. TOLPSC recognizes the validity of adoption as one alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption when compared to the other life-saving alternatives. TOLPSC is independent of adoption agencies, relating to them in the same manner as other helpful referral sources. TOLPSC receives NO payments of any kind from these agencies, does not enter into contractual relationships with them, and does not share 

TOLPSC believes that all human life is created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including 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 (Ps. 139). We believe and affirm that life begins at conception, at which time the full genetic blueprint for life is in place. Accordingly, we believe that our expression of love and service to God requires that we work to protect and honor life at all stages of development. We make special efforts to protect the most vulnerable among us. As such, we view life from conception through birth to be uniquely vulnerable, and therefore work to protect and defend life in these early stages. We do not provide or prescribe contraceptive medications that may harm an embryo and we will never provide abortifacient medications under any circumstances. I 

We, at Tree of Life Pregnancy Support Center (TOLPSC), are involved in a very special ministry. Because we are dealing with issues involving sexuality, we need to remember that we, as Christians, are held to the biblical standard of marriage and relationships. For this reason, we, the Board of Directors and Executive Director, ask that each employee and volunteer adhere to the following Biblical principles in their own relationships, as well as promoting them in the center. - We believe that God creates each person as either male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God. Accordingly, our communication with clients and all other persons reflects the reality of God’s created order. Put simply … we use male pronouns to refer to those persons who were created biologically male, and female pronouns to refer to those persons who were created biologically female. - We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman, and that intimate, sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union. - For those who are unmarried, we believe in adherence to a chaste lifestyle. According to Biblical principles, those who are unmarried are to abstain from sexual relationships. I agree with the above statements and sign without reservation.
