æ
People
in general are living significantly below their
health, fitness, performance,
æ
longevity and quality of life potential. As one
physician-author stated it: "We die too
æ
long and
live too short."
æ It
is our choices - much more than genetics, age or
gender - that determine health
æ
and quality of life.
æ Good
health and wellness are not defined as the mere
absence of disease, but rather
æ
refer to mind, body and spirit operating in harmony,
with a full and balanced
æ
expression in every major area of life - physical,
emotional, relational and spiritual.
æ To
make wellness-promoting life choices is to live as
God intended - as God calls us
æ
to live.
æ The
Bible is our source of authority, providing the
foundation and principles for living
æ
wisely and a framework for understanding and applying
what we learn from valuable
æ
sources such as medical science and psychology.

Statement of Faith
(Belief in Central & Essential Doctrines)
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior...
æ
I believe in the divine inspiration, integrity and final
authority of the Bible as the
æ
Word
of God.
æ
I believe in the
triunity of God and the unique deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
æ
I believe in the representative and substitutionary
sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus
æ
as the necessary atonement for our
sins.
æ I believe in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in
the work of regeneration.
æ
I believe that eternal salvation from sin, death and hell is the free
gift of God's
æ
grace,
and is based solely upon man's personal faith and belief in
Jesus Christ.
æ
I believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of
our Lord, and that blessed hope,
æ
His personal return.
æ I believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and
everlasting punishment of the lost.
Doctrinal Differences
Paul devoted Romans 14 and 15 to telling us that, while we must agree on
the great central truths of Scripture (essential doctrines), there are
many areas in which Christians may disagree (nonessential doctrines).
"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems
every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind." (Romans
14:5). In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, diversity;
in all things, charity - Augustine
Wellness is defined as a choice – a decision you
make towards optimal health – an interaction of the body,
mind &
spirit. Our belief is that a Christ-centered foundation is
essential for optimal physical, emotional
relational & spiritual health.
