1. We believe the Bible to be the only fully inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative, written word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; John 10:30, 37–38).
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His bodily resurrection, and in His personal return in power and glory (Luke 1:35; John 2:11, 11:25; Acts 1:1; Revelation 19:11, 16).
4. We believe that the human race is fallen in Adam and that the salvation of lost and sinful man depends upon the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and is made effectual by faith alone (Romans 3:19, 23; John 3:16, 19; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–6).
5. We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19–20).
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to the resurrection of life and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28–29).
7. We believe in the Great Commission as the primary mission of the church, and in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:20; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Galatians 3:26, 28).
8. We believe that man was created in the image of God and that, from the moment of conception, man bears His image. We believe that all life begins at conception, and we have no right to interrupt that plan of God (Genesis 1:26, 28; 5:1–2; Psalm 139:13–16).

As a staff/volunteer representing IWC, I believe this statement of faith in its entirety. I pledge to support the staff and leadership of IWC, as we promote these truths together. I will not undermine these beliefs in any way. If questions of philosophy, theology, or ethics should arise with any client, I will refer the client to the Executive Director/CEO.

Insight Women’s Center’s mission is to reach out and serve our community with Jesus’ love. By providing evidence-based education, pregnancy help services, and parenting support in a safe environment, we empower women and men to make well-informed and confident pregnancy decisions.

Selah Home’s mission is to provide a safe, Christ-centered residence where pregnant women and their children can grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally on a hope-filled journey toward healing and independence.

Statements Which Back Up Our Mission

• We believe unplanned pregnancies are often symptomatic of even deeper needs in an individual's life. As we reach out with compassion and practical help, it is our desire to minister to the whole person with the healing message of forgiveness and redemption through Jesus Christ.
• We believe abortion destroys a preborn human being made in the image of God, and it may leave a mother with lifelong emotional and spiritual scars as well. We also believe that lack of information is a major cause of abortion, especially among teenagers. We therefore propose to educate each girl who comes to us with the facts of her baby's development, the facts of abortion, and the options and opportunities available to her, making ourselves available to help her make a thoughtful decision concerning her own and her baby's future.
• We believe pregnancy constitutes a God-given responsibility of mother to child which must be weighed carefully. When a girl chooses to keep and raise her child, we provide educational and practical assistance as needed—from housing, maternity clothes, and baby items to lessons on child development, health, and nutrition, as well as friendly emotional support throughout.
• We believe adoption is a very positive experience in God's plan and serves as a picture of the believer's adoption into God's family. When adoption is elected, we walk through the entire process with her. Although not an adoption agency, we are committed to providing emotional and practical support before, during, and after the birth.
• We believe that the one who chooses to abort in spite of the help offered needs our ongoing love and compassion. We want to continue to make our friendship available to her through the emotional and physical crises she may face.
