Basic Beliefs
- Our teaching is based on the Bible. We believe that in the Bible God gives us the only true pattern for living in this world.
- We believe God's intention is that sexual activity be expressed only within the boundaries of heterosexual marriage. The Bible warns us against any deviation from this standard.
- We believe the Bible teaches that homosexual acts are not in accord with God's plan for humanity. While we are aware that many men and women experience same-sex attraction, we recognize the distinction between same-sex attraction and homosexual acts.
- Christ died for all sinners, not only heterosexuals. We seek to encourage churches to be supportive to those in their midst who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction. To that end we provide education, support and resources.
- There are a number of factors which contribute to the development of same-sex attraction. The things which may be of assistance in healing and restoration include education, prayer, counselling, support and healthy friendships.
We believe that the most significant part of a person's healing will come through their relationship with Jesus Christ. To this end we suggest that this is the most important place to start in the journey of healing and restoration.
