We believe that "Children are a gift of the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward." (Psalm 127:3)

 We believe that childbirth is a natural event, not a medical procedure.

We believe that when parents are properly educated and prepared for childbirth, it can be a wonderful experience for them, binding them closer together as a couple and a family.

 We believe in the parents' right to choose the caregiver and place of care in which they wish to have their baby, whether it be a midwife or a physician, and whether it be in their home, in a birth center, or in a hospital.

 We believe that when parents are given accurate information, the vast majority of them are capable of making the best decision regarding the circumstances for the birth of their babies.

We believe that proper nutrition (including appropriate nutritional supplements) during pregnancy makes an enormous difference in the health of both mom and baby.

  We believe that, for most pregnancies and births, medical intervention is entirely inappropriate, and may result in unnecessary complications for moms and babies.

 We believe that most episiotomies and most Caesarean Sections are unnecessary. There are occasions when these interventions may be necessary, but they should be very rare.

 We believe that there is a tremendous need for excellent doctors and hospitals. We are not "anti-doctor" or "anti-hospital." We are thankful for wise, sensitive doctors and hospitals. Therefore, we never hesitate to refer to a physician or to transport to a hospital if it becomes necessary to do so.

 We believe that the baby growing in the mother's womb is a human child. No matter what the circumstances are outside the womb, we do not believe that the baby deserves to die for it. We are pro-life. However,  we believe that moms who may have made mistakes in the past need grace and compassion, not condemnation.
