Life Network is a non-profit Christian Ministry with a mission to cultivate a community that values life through the love of Christ. We achieve this by:

• Presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ
• Providing life-affirming alternatives to abortion
• Promoting sexual integrity and healthy decisions
• Empowering parents to be healthy and hopeful
• Giving hope and healing to post-abortive
• Engaging the community to advance life

Our Statement of Faith:

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the inerrant, the 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 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 unity of believers in our Lord Christ.
