Statement of Faith

Statement

of Faith

We, the undersigned board members of Hope Haven, believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be

the inspired Word of God, which proclaims God’s creation, man’s fall into sin, God’s plan of redemption through

Jesus Christ and the new creation yet to come. We believe God calls each of us to participate

in the spread of his kingdom through word and deed. Acknowledging the authority of God’s Word,

we submit to it in all matters of life and faith.

We affirm the Christian faith as summarized in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places

By our signature above, we affirm our Christian faith, which will guide the way we govern and direct the ministries of Hope Haven.

Hope Haven began in 1964 as a school for children with disabilities in Rock Valley, Iowa. Today, that same vision continues through local disability services across Iowa and Minnesota and our international wheelchair ministry around the world.

At home, we help people

build skills, independence,

and community.

Around the world, we help

provide mobility, dignity, and

opportunity.

Same vision. Two ways to live it.

James is 9 years old and lives in rural Kenya. He was born with a spinal condition that left him unable to walk. For years, his mother carried him everywhere. Last March, a Hope Haven International team fitted James with a KidChair specially designed for rough terrain. It cost $300 to build. It changed everything.
