| Open Arms Pregnancy
Care Center is a non-profit, 501 (c)3 organization
dedicated to helping people before, throughout, and
after an unplanned pregnancy.
All services are provided at 'NO
CHARGE' to those we serve.
Open Arms PCC has been serving
Kootenai County since November 2001, and is supported by
the gifts of concerned individuals, churches, and businesses
in our community.
| Statement of Principle
|
Open Arms is an
outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His Church.
Therefore, the pregnancy care center, embodied
in its volunteers, is committed to presenting
the gospel of our Lord to women and crisis
pregnancies, both in work and in deed.
Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor
as pregnancy care center board members,
directors and volunteers are expected to know
Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Open Arms is committed to
providing its clients with accurate and complete
information about both prenatal development and
abortion.
Open Arms is committed to
integrity in dealing with clients, earning their
trust and providing promised information and
services. The pregnancy care center denounces
any form of deception in its corporate
advertising or individual conversations with its
clients.
Open Arms is committed to
assisting women 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.
Open Arms does not
discriminate in providing services because of
race, creed, color, national origin, age or
marital status of the client.
Open Arms does not recommend,
provide, or refer for abortion or abortifacients.
Open Arms 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.
Open Arms does not recommend,
provide, or refer single women for
contraceptives. (Married women asking
contraceptive information should be urges to
seek counsel, along with their husbands, from
their pastor and physician.) |
| Statement of Faith
|
We believe the
Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible,
authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one
God, eternally 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 enabled to live a godly life
and to perform 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 Jesus Christ. |
