MISSION & VALUES

Mission Statement

Tender Care seeks to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where individuals can come to discuss their pregnancy related concerns in hope of a positive choice.

Core Values

Sanctity of Human Life:  We value all human life beginning at conception with the specific charge to protect, nurture, and save the unborn, offering alternatives to abortion and giving support through birth and beyond.

Christian Principles:  We value the truth of God’s Word and the love He has shown us through His Son, Jesus Christ.  We are committed to living the gospel by reflecting His love in all that we do.

Unconditional Love:  We value each person regardless of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, age, income, religious affiliation, disability or marital status.  We believe we are called by God to demonstrate His Love by ministering to practical, spiritual and emotional needs.

Integrity:  We value maintaining integrity in our Christian witness in the community and therefore are committed to honesty and accuracy in all dealings. We will protect patient confidentiality except when required by law to disclose information to protect against harm.

Education:  We value the role education plays in our patients’ ability to make informed decisions and are committed to providing the practical information needed to help them plan constructively for themselves and their baby’s future.

Statement of Faith

  1.  We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  2. We believe in God the Father, whose creation reveals His unparalleled power and whose love extends to every person even before each is born.
  3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death on the cross in our place, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His future personal return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that human beings are created in God’s image, but because of human sin against God that image was defaced and fellowship with God was broken.
  5. We believe that God has demonstrated His love for lost and sinful humanity, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.  We believe that the Holy Spirit convinces us of sin and leads us to experience God’s salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, who alone reconciles us to God and who is restoring God’s image in us.
  6. We believe in the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live godly lives and to express our personal faith in good works.
  7. We believe in life after death of both the saved and the lost; the saved to dwell in God’s presence forever, and the lost to exist eternally without God.
  8. We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and uniquely authoritative Word of God, and our guide in faith and life.
  9. We believe in the Body of Christ, which by the Holy Spirit is bound together in spiritual unity and sent out in gifted diversity to accomplish Christ’s mission in the world.
  10.   We believe that God ordained intimate sexual activity to be celebrated within the confines of marriage.
  11.  We believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

* Tender Care does not offer, recommend, or refer for abortions.
