Focus on the Family Canada

Organization Description: 

Focus on the Family Canada is a charitable Christian organization dedicated to upholding and strengthening the family unit. Since opening our doors in 1983, we have worked to equip families across Canada with the tools they need to stand strong in today's culture.
We are blessed to talk directly with Canadian callers to pray with them and support them as they journey through all stages of life. Currently, we are increasing our volunteer base and seminar/event presence in Canada. We are coming alongside churches to provide care and resources to clergy and their families. We are also impacting international and national policy initiatives as well as empowering individuals to make a difference in their communities.

By providing programs that teach, resources that uplift, Biblical tools for spiritual growth, counselling referrals and much more, we aim to be the place Canadian families turn to for help and encouragement.

Organizational Statement of Faith: 

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in
His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
