Our beliefs

Statement of Faith 

  1. We believe in the existence of the One true God in Three Persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Exodus 20:2,3; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Titus 2:13). 
  2. We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21). 
  3. We believe in the divine creation of the universe and the unique creation of man in the image of God (Genesis 1-2; Colossians 1:16,17; John 1:3). 
  4. We believe in the total depravity of man (Gen. 3:1-6; Romans 3:10-19, 5:12). 
  5. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ (Gen. 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25). 
  6. We believe in the substitutionary death of Christ and His bodily resurrection (Rom. 5:19; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Cor. 15:3-5). 
  7. We believe in the necessity of salvation through faith in the finished, redemptive work of Christ (Rom. 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:8,9; Jn. 3:16,17; Hebrews 10:10-12). 
  8. We believe in the existence of a literal Hell and the bodily return of Christ to earth (Luke 16:25; Rev­elation 20:14,15; Acts 2:11,29- 35; Matt. 24:29-31). 
  9. We believe in the biblical model for marriage and family (Gen. 2:24; Eph. 5:21, 6:4; Col. 3:18,21; I Pet. 3:17) 
  10. We believe children are a blessing of the Lord and should be welcomed (Psalm 127:3; Mark 10:13).

Lifeline's history

  • 1989 — A small group of local ladies recognized a need in the community to serve young women facing crisis pregnancies. Starting in a room at David's Community Bible Church, Lifeline began as a hotline for those in need.
  • 1990 — Lifeline officially became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
  • 1992 — Lifeline’s Board of Directors was established. Lifeline moved out of David's Community Bible Church to a more accessible location. The ministry rented the parsonage on Race Street in Millersburg from First United Methodist Church.
  • 1993 — Lifeline moved across the corner to its current location at 403 Union Street.
  • 2002 — Lifeline purchased the building on Union Street.
  • 2007 — Lifeline increased its open hours to include evenings.
  • 2013 — Lifeline introduced its current education curriculum, Earn While You Learn.
  • 2026 — After years of prayer, planning and preparation, Lifeline opened the door of its medical center, and now offers limited first trimester ultrasounds.
