WEST FLORIDA FOSTER CARE SERVICES STATEMENT OF FAITH
West Florida Foster Care Services, Inc., as a faith based foster care organization, is united in our commitment to providing stability, love, and guidance to children in need. Our organization is founded on the principles of the Christian faith. We hold to the following beliefs:
- The Bible as the Inspired Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, revealing God’s will for salvation and our lives. It is the ultimate authority for our beliefs and practices.
- God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death on the cross, and bodily resurrection. It is through His sacrifice that we find forgiveness and eternal life. He is the one and only way to salvation and eternal fellowship with God.
- The Sanctity of Human Life
We believe that every human being, made in the image of God, is of infinite value and deserving of love and care. Every person, regardless of background, race, sexuality, or circumstance, has inherent worth in God’s eyes.
- The Call to Love and Serve Others
We believe that Christians are called to demonstrate God’s love through service to others, particularly the vulnerable and the marginalized. This includes fostering, caring for, and advocating for children who need a safe and loving home.
- The Power of Prayer and Faith
We believe in the power of prayer and the importance of faith in God to guide our work and decisions. We seek God’s wisdom and direction in every aspect of our agency, trusting Him to provide for the needs of the children and families we serve.
- The Hope of Restoration and Healing
We believe in the power of God to heal broken lives and restore families. We trust that the lives of children and families can be transformed, offering hope and a future.
