Basic Beliefs

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

 

"Is there a Christian way to combine biblical thinking about God's intention for human sexuality with an equally biblical attitude of understanding, respect and support for persons with a homosexual disposition?"
John Stott

 

"There is no such thing, strictly speaking, as a homosexual or a lesbian. There are only people who need healing of old rejections and deprivations…"
Leanne Payne

 

"There is hope and healing for you as you deal with your unwanted homosexual feelings. God is your Father and longs to lavish His love, forgiveness and care on you."
Christopher Keane

 

"The emerging generation are growing up in the most sexualised world that has ever existed - a world that speaks a variety of often conflicting messages when it comes to the issues of gender, identity and human sexuality.  The need within the Christian Community for ongoing support of those struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction, as well as the continued education and resourcing of their leaders is a matter of great urgency.  While the debate over the issue of homosexuality has ensued within many churches over the last decade, countless Christian men and women have sat in these same churches feeling isolated, wondering where they can turn with their unwanted same-sex attractions.

Now is the time for ministries like Liberty Christian Ministries Inc. to play a key role in helping churches create safe communities where those struggling can find ongoing support, encouragement and leadership in their journey"
