Relate
Relate offers the Relate Enrichment Curriculum (REC), an 8-10 hour course for middle school students; and the Relate Abstinence Presentation (RAP), a 2-3 hour presentation. Both of these services are offered in both public and Christian settings. Relate is based at the Whatcom County Pregnancy Center in Bellingham, Washington.
Relate has been serving Whatcom County for almost 15 years. Relate's materials have been approved using the criteria of the Title V Grant for Abstinence Education from the Department of Health and Human Services; however, Relate is totally funded through community donations.
Relate is sexual abstinence and healthy relationships education program in Whatcom County, Washington that serves middle school and high school students. Relate's mission is to present teens with a realistic picture of relationships, build an abstinence-friendly community, and affirm their choice to abstain, allowing teens to focus on their goals and potential.
1. We believe the Bible is inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. 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 in glory.
4. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and not as a result of good works.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and perform good works.
6. 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.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
