t Cascade, we believe the following about our best friend, Jesus:

1. Jesus Christ was the son of God, is God, was born of a virgin, was crucified on

our behalf as a punishment for the

sins of mankind, was resurrected on the third day,

ascended into heaven, and is coming back soon to rule and reign

for evermore.

2. The only way to eternal salvation is through personal belief that the blood of Jesus

is all-sufficient for the penalty of

sin and an acceptance of him into your life as Lord

and Savior.

3. We believe in salvation by having the faith to believe that it is grace alone that can

save us, and that salvation is

immediate and eternal upon acceptance of Jesus as a

one-time sacrifice for our sins, and not obtained through any

works, sacraments,

traditions or merits of our own.

4. We believe in the Trinity: That God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy

Spirit are three Persons present in

one God.

5. We believe in the eternal and unchanging Word of God, that it is accurate, and

infallible. We believe that it is

complete, and do not incorporate new age thoughts

(Yoga, Unitarianism, Birth Idols, Pagan rituals, Mormonism,

Jehovah's Witness, etc.)

or Eastern religion into our practice and trust that scripture (as written) is sufficient

for any

purpose. We are cautious in taking scripture out of context to support an

idea, and believe that God can speak to us

through scripture individually, yet we do

not change the meaning of a passage and declare that it now has a new

meaning.

Instead, we get to know God's will by seeking to grow in the knowledge of Him and

His Son through study

of the scriptures.

6. We define "Supernatural Childbirth" as any birth that brings glory to God the

Father, regardless of its outcome.

7. We strive to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ through the childbirth

period and to be a witness and

testimony to all who God places in our path.

8. We believe that childbirth is a beautiful event that expands far beyond the physical

experience, reaching into the

very depths of our soul. We also believe that God

would have a very special and personal piece of wisdom for us that

we would gain

from the experience of our own birth, regardless of how it turned out. We value the

presence of the

father as an important source of comfort and guidance for the

mother, and enjoy seeing the Lord bind their

relationship as they become parents.

Often times it is the loving eyes of the father that hold her together when things

get

intense. We understand that when the father cannot be present, the mother can look

to Jesus as her comfort and

strength.

9. We believe that Satan would desire to use fear and tension to make birth more

difficult, in an attempt to make our

birth into a horror story. We also believe that

what Satan intended for evil, God can use for good in our lives (Genesis

50:20), so

even a very difficult birth can glorify the Lord!

10. We believe that God desires to redeem childbirth so that his children will look

first to Him for comfort, support,

knowledge, and strength, and we also believe that

God can give wisdom to our care providers. We strive to see that

those attending

the birth will seek Godly wisdom and not worldly wisdom so that the best outcome

can be acheived.

We encourage everyone involved to make educated decisions

based on accurate information rather than making rash

decisions based on fear.

11. And finally, we pray that each parent and child that the Lord places in our path

receives the saving grace of Jesus

Christ and that they might come to know Him

more intimately through the birth experience!

who acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as the guiding strength during this time of Joy!
