All volunteers must be in full agreement with out Statements of Faith and Principle in order to volunteer at the RPC.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infalliblle, authoraritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent 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 Jesus Christ.
I fully believe the above statement of faith.

Statement of Faith
Statement of Principle
Belief
The RPC is a pro-life, Christian ministry and all volunteers must be in 100% agreement.
Faith
The pregnancy center is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His church. Therefore, the pregnancy center, embodied in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women with crisis pregnancies – both in word and in deed. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as pregnancy center board members, directors, and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Sexual Purity
All volunteers and employees make this pledge:
I believe in chastity outside of marriage and in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman as taught in the Bible. Therefore, I commit to a lifestyle of sexual purity, and will refrain from engaging in any sexual relationships outside the bonds of Christian marriage.
Accuracy
The pregnancy center is committed to providing its clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion.
Honesty
The pregnancy center is committed to integrity in dealing with clients, earning their trust and providing promised information and services. The pregnancy center denounces any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual conversations with its client.
Practical Support
The pregnancy center is committed to assisting women to 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.
Impartiality
The pregnancy center does not discriminate in providing services because of race, creed, color, national origin, age, or marital status of its clients.
Life Affirming
The pregnancy center does not recommend, provide, or refer for abortion or abortifacients. It is prolife.
Free of Charge
The pregnancy center offers assistance free of charge at
all times.
Educational
The pregnancy center 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.
Abstinence Promoting
The pregnancy center does not recommend, provide, or refer single women for contraceptives. (Married women seeking contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel, along with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.)
Adoption Supporting
The pregnancy center is not biased toward adoption when compared to other life-saving alternatives. Pregnancy centers receive no payment of any kind from these agencies, do not enter into contractual relationships with them, and do not share combined office space. Pregnancy centers neither initiate nor facilitate independent adoptions, though they may refer for independent adoptions in states where it is legal.
I believe in the prolife principles of the RPC and agree to abide by them.
