Active Pro-Life Ministry

Our Beliefs

• We believe abortion is a blight on our nation and a horror to this generation.
• We believe abortion is not just a political issue, but also a moral and social issue.
• We believe that if the church fails to respond to this moral crisis the church will be accountable to God and to history.
• We believe that the church should not only speak against, but also actively resist abortion and seek to heal those wounded by it.
• We believe that our action should go beyond preaching the Gospel and prayer, as important as these efforts are.
• We believe that abortion is now infecting Bible-believing churches as those churches resist speaking out against abortion and refuse to actively participate in pro-life work.
• We believe most born-again Christians are opposed to abortion, but have been lulled into thinking the situation will never change.
• We believe that being hypersensitive to seekers, in the hope of not offending them with a strong active pro-life ministry, is a serious error.
• We believe that many pastors are tempted to be more concerned about attendance than standing up for the pre-born.
• We believe that judgment begins in the house of the Lord. (I Peter 4:17) We, therefore, hold each other accountable as to our response to this crisis.
• We believe that being 'pro-life' is more than being against abortion. It means actively making a difference in our local community, state, nation and the world.
• We believe that if most Bible-believing churches would legally oppose their local abortion clinics they would not stay in business.
• We believe that when a clinic is performing abortions the churches should have a legal presence on their sidewalk to offer alternatives to the mothers and create an atmosphere that hinders a 'business-as-usual' environment.

Our Actions

As a result of our beliefs, we, therefore, are actively engaged in the following activities:

• We provide post-abortion Bible studies for those who are seeking to be free from the guilt of past behavior.
• We support several pro-life ministries that minister to mothers and engage our culture to consider the truth about abortion.
• We have a presence at our local abortion clinic several times a month.
• We have a presence at our local high school to educate the students about the horrors of abortion.
• We have a close working relationship with The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) of Lake Forest, California.
• We have opportunities to minister with CBR on the front-line positions or behind the scenes with clerical, computer and support ministries.
• We use large, explicit signs, purchased from CBR, to confront those at the clinic and the high school about the evil of abortion.
