Mission Statement
The mission of Christian Babies Home[CBH] is to do everything possible to help un previlledged and war displaced children to reach their full potential.
Description
Christian Babies Home is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides volunteer opportunities to serve children for the purpose of providing them with various types of support. Under the direction of our Project Directors, volunteers (led by volunteer leaders) form the backbone of Christian Babies Home program. Volunteers provide one-on-one nurturing to these disadvantaged children who might otherwise never realize their potential. Because our volunteers provide thousands of hours of service every week weÂ?re in a unique position to understand the material and financial needs of orphans and are in an ideal position to see that donated funds and items are used most efficiently in the orphanages.
The children are unquestionably benefitted from this help and support, but volunteers and leaders are also benefitted and changed as they make a difference in the life of a child in need.
Organizational Statement of Faith
Christian Babies Home is Christian charity. It is an evangelical affiliated charity, thus holding beliefs along evangelical lines. Evangelicals are the largest group among Protestant churches and the most diverse. Denominational and non-denominational evangelicals include all in Pentecostalism, charismatic movement, Baptist, Presbyterian, AG, AME, non-denominations, Christian fundamentalists, moderates and liberals. Non-evangelicals and non-Christians most welcome to serve at Christian Babies Home.
Having said this some may want a traditional Statement of Faith. Here is one in its historical form from the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is the most widely accepted basic Statement of the Christian Faith. It summarizes the major doctrines held by Evangelicals & Catholic Christians. These separate them from those who do not embrace some major sections of the Creed (e.g. Jehovah?s Witnesses, Mormons and Unitarians).
It was framed as the official position of the church regarding the divinity of Christ, Trinitarian nature of God, and other fundamental doctrines of Christianity. Although the Creed descended largely from Roman Catholic influence it is nevertheless one of those tenets of faith that evangelicals strongly agree with Catholic Christianity. Please note that the word “catholic” does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church, but to the global church of Jesus Christ, the true believers that comprise the Body of Christ worldwide from various denominations.
