PURPOSE: To provide Biblical health and wellness guidance and values essential to followers of Jesus. Whatever health decisions you conclude, it must be in faith, not rooted in fear, and under the authority of Jesus Christ.
JESUS IS OUR CREATOR, SUSTAINER, AND HEALER
Colossians 1:15-17, James 5:14-15, 1 Peter 2:24, Luke 4:18-19, Psalm 103:3
According to the Bible, we believe that Jesus is our creator, sustainer, and healer. As such, all medical and health related decisions are made in consultation with the Holy Spirit and in alignment with Jesus’ teachings and Biblical principles.
While individual health choices are valued and respected, we also recognize the importance of corporate church counsel, substantiated scientific research, and the expertise and skill of professionals and physicians.
Human intervention in matters of health and healing should not conflict with supernatural wellness, but an outward expression (physical action) in alignment with God’s design for the human body and in obedience to his directives for any given individual and condition.
I. OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD
I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, Romans 6:12-13, Ephesians 2:19-22
We believe our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are possessed by Jesus Christ and our physical well-being is dependent upon his healing presence in us and our compliance with his directives for healthy choices in nutrition, medical procedures, vaccinations, medications, and lifestyle.
We are guardians of God’s design and purposes, and we have choice and freedom to exercise our will to ensure the safe keeping of our bodies. For this reason, it is crucial that we have the wisdom and discernment to prevent or allow any substance, machine, tech, food, medications, vaccinations, inoculations, or experiment to control or manipulate the physiology of our bodies internally and externally in any way that compromises God’s design, his command, and our conscience.
II. SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE
Psalm 139-13-16, Deuteronomy 27:25, Proverbs 24:11-12, Proverbs 6:17
According to our faith it is forbidden to take, exploit, and use human life – born and unborn for research, experimentation, or as ingredients in medical treatments or prevention. No therapy, vaccine, inoculation, surgery, medicine, drug or medical treatment shall be considered acceptable that takes, abuses, or exploits the life of another human being.
CHOICE OF CONSCIENCE
Romans 14:22-23, 2 Corinthians 1:12, 4:2, 13:5, 1 Corinthians 7:17, 1 John 3:19-23
We believe in the choice of conscience in the context of compliance with the authority of God’s personal peace, the Holy Spirit’s presence, and scriptures in the Bible. This provides individuals with the responsibility and freedom to choose lifestyle, diet, nutrition, medical treatments, drugs, and vaccines according to personal conscience. All decisions are required to be made in faith (confident alignment with the will of God) and to the glory of God (as resulting in the manifestation of His presence).
