statement of faith
Impact Life Decisions, Inc, is a faith-based organization that believes in making impactful life decisions by fully implementing the teachings of Jesus Christ through the Bible, the inspired and infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21). We believe that life change comes through an encounter with Jesus Christ and a daily relationship with him.
Because our primary goal of mentoring youth is not Christian conversion, we do not proselytize, coerce or force any student to, pray, read or study the Bible. However, we do mentor, teach, build relationships and help students make impactful life decisions from a biblical worldview and by using the teachings and lifelong principles of Jesus Christ. Students will have the freedom and opportunity to learn more about Jesus Christ if they express their own interest.
