New Life Counseling, Coaching and Consulting Faith Statement
The following beliefs, which are the guiding principles of the professional and support staff of New Life Counseling, Coaching and Consulting, are essential to our treatment philosophy and ministry.
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He has revealed Himself in creation, history, and in Jesus Christ.
- We believe in God’s creation of the world and humankind and in humanity’s rebellion and subsequent depravity.
- We believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, humanity, miracles, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven and His coming personal return.
- We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ as one’s Savior.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit in salvation and by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to grow in the knowledge and practice of the principles of the Scripture.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost – the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and in the importance of the church for Worship, Service and Relationships.
- We believe in the importance of marriage, and although the Bible states that divorce is permissible in two circumstances (adultery, Matt 5:31; and abandonment, I Corinthians 7:15), we will do all that we can to preserve marriage.
- We believe in the sanctity of life.
- We believe that all psychological principles should be evaluated through the grid of Scripture, and that Scripture always holds final authority.
