HP Statement of Faith:

We Believe:
--that the 66 books of the Bible, in their entirety, are the only inspired, infallible, 
supreme and final Word of God and authority in faith and life. (Catholics are 
welcome into membership and leadership of Hannah’s Prayer Ministries. We 
recognize that the Roman Catholic Church includes the Apocrypha in its Canon. 
We ask that in matters of discussion and encouragement within Hannah’s Prayer, 
all uses of Holy Scripture be confined to the 66 books held in common.
~II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21

--that there is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, 
Son, and Holy Spirit.

--that Jesus bodily arose from and conquered death, and ascended into Heaven 
where He now mediates for us as High Priest at the right hand of the Father.
~Luke 24:6-7; I Corinthians 15:55-57; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 4:15-16; Hebrews 7:24-28

who place their personal faith in Jesus Christ have eternal life.

guides all who have believed on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

Issues Not Foundational For Salvation, Yet Important To This Ministry

We Also Believe:
--that man was created in the image of God, thus every human life, from the 
moment the DNA lines up creating an unique individual (in standard conception 
this happens when a sperm penetrates an egg), is of inestimable value and has a 
purpose planned by God. We stand unashamedly on the belief that God is 
"pro-life", thus we are "pro-life" as well. While we do not condone the concept 
or practice of cloning, we believe children created by cloning are human beings. 
We believe in the sanctity of human life regardless of the method of conception.
~Genesis 1:27-28; Luke 1:39-44; Psalm 127:3-5; Jeremiah 1:5

--that God's grace extends to cover the lives of children who die before, at, or 
shortly after birth, and these children are issued directly into Heaven at the time 
of death.
~Matthew 18:3-5, 10; II Samuel 12:23; Genesis 18:23-25; Psalm 22:9-10; Psalm 71:6

--that since God first created us "in His image," then the desire to procreate 
biological children (in our own image) is God given. 
~Genesis 1:27-28

--that God deeply cares about the pain we face through infertility and lovingly 
gives us many examples of barren couples throughout the Bible so that we 
might know just how much our pain matters to Him.
~Luke 8:43-48; Genesis 16:1; Genesis 25:21; Genesis 30:1; Judges 13:2-3; I Samuel 1:1-2:11; 
Proverbs 30:15-16; II Kings 4:14-17; Luke 1:5-7

--that God knows the pain of grieving parents because He watched His only 
Son die the most painful death.
~II Kings 4:18-37, Job 1:18-22; Jeremiah 31:15; Psalm 116:1-5; II Samuel 12:16-18; 
Romans 8:32

--that human adoption is a beautiful picture of God's adoptive love for us.
~Ephesians 1:4-6; Galatians 3:26-4:7; Romans 8:15-17
