Purpose
God is using Love Life to awaken the church. This isn't prolife activism. It is Christianity 101. It is loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Whole families are being moved from inside the four walls of the church into the frontlines of the mission field in their cities.
Mission statement
Love Life is uniting and mobilizing the church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis.
Statement of faith
The Bible - We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testament are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as the final standard for faith and life.
God - We believe in one eternal God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-co-equal in power and glory.
Jesus Christ - We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, sacrificial death on the cross for our sins, bodily resurrection, and His future return to establish His kingdom.
Salvation - We believe that salvation is a gift of God, received by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ. All who repent and believe in Him are forgiven, made new, and given eternal life.
The Sanctity of Life - We believe that every human life, from the moment of conception, is sacred and created in the image of God. We believe that God created humanity in His image, male and female, and that a person's biological sex is a fixed, God-given reality that cannot be changed. As such, we are called to defend, protect, and value every life-both in and out of the womb.
Marriage & Sexuality - We believe that God created marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ's relationship with His Church. Sexuality is a gift from God, to be expressed only within the marriage covenant. Any deviation from God's design-including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, and gender reassignment-falls outside His will and design for human flourishing.
The Church - We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers, called to proclaim the Gospel and be a light in the darkness. The Church has been entrusted with the mission to disciple nations, care for the vulnerable, and stand for truth.
The Holy Spirit - We believe in the power and work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers, convicts the world of sin, and empowers us to live transformed lives and fulfill the Great Commission.
The Resurrection - We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life in God's presence and the lost to eternal separation from Him.
The Mission - We believe that God has called us to stand for life, disciple the next generation, and equip the Church to be a refuge for the most vulnerable.

History
"My journey began in 2012 when friends took me to a local abortion center to show me the atrocity taking place in our city. When I heard the tragic truths of abortion, I was shocked and sad to see so few actively doing anything about it. The Holy Spirit convicted me of my own lack of action and I knew that needed to change. After much prayer, He downloaded a strategy in my heart to end abortion in Charlotte by uniting and mobilizing the Church." -- Justin Reeder
