Biblical Foundation

The Crisis Pregnancy Centers of Greater Phoenix, Inc. are part of a single organization which rests upon the truth of God's Word—the 66 books of the Old and New Testament. It is this solid foundation of truth that both defines and propels our mission of saving lives and protecting futures. The Bible is the source from where our convictions arise regarding pregnancy and sexual health, and the motivation driving our loving and merciful outreach into the community in the form of our many services.

Below are included the beliefs and affirmations which compose the biblical foundation of CPC: our Statement of Faith—the lowest common denominator of our shared Christian beliefs; our Articles of Faith—a more full description of our basic beliefs; our mission statement; and our core values.

Statement of Faith


  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his substitutionary and propitiatory, atoning death through his shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in his physical ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return in power and glory.
  4. 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.
  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, to perform good works, and equipped with spiritual gifts and power for witness and ministry.
  6. 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.
  7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Articles of Faith

Article I

We believe that God has revealed himself to man through his creation, through His Son, and through the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, those books being a dual authorship in which the Holy Spirit superintended the human authors to compose and record God's Word to man without error in the whole or in any part in the original manuscripts. We believe the Bible to be the believer's final and infallible authority in faith and in practice.

Article II

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are identical in being, promises, perfections, and plan.

Article III

We believe that God, in the beginning, created the heavens and the earth, that he created Adam and Eve in his image, and that he upholds all his creation by his providence.

Article IV

We believe that the angels were all created by God as sinless, spiritual beings, but that one of the angels, Lucifer, fell through the sin of pride, influencing many angels to accompany him, and that Satan continues as an enemy of God, his truth, and his people.

Article V

We believe that, as a consequence of sin, Adam incurred both spiritual and physical death. We believe Adam's nature became corrupt as a result of sin, and that this sinful nature has been subsequently transmitted to the entire human race, with the sole exception of the man Jesus Christ. Therefore, all human beings are corrupt and incapable of doing that which is acceptable to God apart from divine grace.

Article VI

We believe that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary while she was still a virgin, thereby Jesus was born as fully human without inheriting her sinful nature, being now perfect God and perfect man.

Article VII

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross, satisfying divine wrath and justice concerning sin and taking our sentence of death upon himself, and that his death is the only basis upon which man may become acceptable to God.

Article VIII

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ, his ascension into heaven, in his present life for us as High Priest and Advocate, and in his personal return as King to reign in power and glory.

Article IX

We believe that ultimately Satan will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, the unsaved will be committed to eternal punishment, and the saved will physically enter the eternal state of glory with God.

Article X

We believe that the only way to receive eternal life is through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and that all who thus believe are reborn by the Holy Spirit and become children of God, a complete relationship not conditional upon any accompanying or subsequent actions or experiences-it is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Article XI

We believe that all who are born of the Holy Spirit belong immediately to the one true Church, a spiritual body of which Christ is the Head. We believe all who are thus baptized by the Holy Spirit are also indwelt, gifted, and sealed by the same Spirit into Christ and his body, the Church.

Article XII

We believe that this body of doctrine is not only our guideline for living, but is also our mandate of acting, knowing that any system acting contrary to the pure truth of Scripture will inevitably lead to emptiness, grief, and inhumane treatment of one's fellow man.

Mission Statement

The mission of CPC is to "Save Lives and Protect Futures"—of the men, women, children, and unborn babies of the greater Phoenix area.
