The application is somewhat lengthy, but only to help you understand the ministry of Women’s
Hope Medical Clinic more thoroughly and to help you decide if this is where the Lord has called
you to serve. It is not used to grade applicants or compare with other volunteers. We recognize
God uses many types of people from many different backgrounds to complete His kingdom.
Please take your time as you complete each question prayerfully.
We are seeking women & men who have a firm, dedicated commitment to the Lord and who will
make themselves available to Him, not necessarily “spiritual giants” or those who seem to have
never experienced anything troubling in their lives. If you have an ability to stick with
commitments that you make and have a genuine desire to help women, men, and families facing
unplanned pregnancies and other difficult life situations, this may be where God is leading you!
It is extremely important that your walk with the Lord is growing, but have no doubt that your
faith will increase as you serve Him here. There will be times when you know your Heavenly
Father has worked mightily through you; in these times you will be absolutely amazed at His
ability to change hearts. The Lord may use you to bring someone to know their salvation in
Jesus Christ, or perhaps to save a mother and child from the choice of abortion. These moments
will change your life, and you will never forget the wonderful things you experienced while
volunteering.
But to be honest, there will also be times when you feel frustrated or defeated. There may be
times when you feel as if what you are doing is not making a difference. This is exactly how
Satan wants us to feel, so that we will give up and just quit trying. Guard yourself from this, and
remember that in good or hard times God’s hand is never idle! You must have faith and know
that the Lord is at work in the hearts of those with whom you meet, even when you don’t see the
results.
We are not asking that you have all of the answers, or that your relationship with the Lord be
always what you would want it to be. We are asking for openness to the calling of God to be
used by Him. We are asking for women & men who are willing to make the commitment
necessary to nurture their relationship with the Lord and who will go the extra mile to love and
care for women & men in need in our community. If you feel this may be where God is calling
you to serve, we have been praying that you would pick up this application. In the pages ahead,
we hope you will find confirmation of His call to be part of this ministry. God bless you!

Mission, Vision & Core Values
The mission of Women’s Hope Medical Clinic is twofold: First, Women’s Hope Medical Clinic is a
Christian ministry dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those facing an
unplanned pregnancy. Second, Women’s Hope Medical Clinic promotes the sanctity of human life and the
benefits of healthy relationships and sexual integrity.
At Women’s Hope Medical Clinic, our vision is more than just to help people through a crisis situation. We
want to meet individuals where they are, then empower and equip them to make vital progression in their
lives. We encourage them to make lasting changes that will lead to physical, emotional and spiritual
wellness.
Core Values:
1. WHMC values the spiritual truth found in God’s holy inspired Word, the Bible.
We will uphold the laws of God and the Lord Jesus Christ in words as well as deeds.
(2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
2. WHMC values each individual as having worth and intrinsic value given by God.
Because of this, we will seek to meet the physical, emotional, moral, social and spiritual needs of
women, men and families facing unplanned pregnancies and other crisis situations. (Psalm 139:14,
Ephesians 2:10)
3. WHMC values diversity as a by-product of our Maker’s creativity.
Therefore we will not discriminate regarding race, religion, creed, national origin, age or marital
status. (Acts 10:34-35, Romans 2:11)
4. WHMC values the sanctity of human life from conception.
We will not advise, provide or refer for abortion or abortifacients. (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13)
5. WHMC values putting our faith into action to help meet people’s practical needs.
We will seek to help clients with necessary resources by securing practical solutions by arranging
medical, legal and all manner of social services. (James 2:15-17, Matthew 25:34-40)
6. WHMC values the biblical institution of marriage.
We will seek to teach and develop God’s design for covenant marriage, which has
implications for love, dating, sex and family. (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33)
10. WHMC values honesty and integrity in every aspect of work and life.

We will always give our clients open and truthful answers and provide them with accurate
educational and medical information. We will also use advertising and communications that are
honest and truthful and accurately describe the services we offer. (Exodus 20:16, Psalm 15:1-2)
Statement of Faith
1. We believe the Holy Bible to be the only infallible, inspired authoritative Word of God (II Timothy
3:15-16, II Peter 1:20-21)
2. We believe in God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (I John 5:7-8,
Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Matthew 28:19, II Corinthians 13:14)
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of
the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (John 1:1-14, Luke 1:34-35, I John 4:9)
4. We believe that mankind was created in the image of God; that mankind sinned and thereby incurred
not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human
beings are born with a sinful nature (Genesis 1:26, Romans 5:12, Ephesians 2:1)
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative
substitutionary and complete sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of
His shed blood (Romans 5:8, Galatians 1:4)
6. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential, and that salvation is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and
not as a result of good works (Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9)
7. We believe in the physical resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus Christ, in His ascension to
Heaven and His present life there for us as our High Priest and Advocate (Hebrews 1:3, 4:15-16,
I John 2:1)
8. We believe in the personal, visible, and second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, at a time unknown
to us, but for which we are watching joyfully (I Corinthians 15:51, I Thessalonians 4:13-18)
9. We believe that the believer should be a vessel sanctified, fitting or proper for the master’s use (II
Timothy 2:21, I Thessalonians 4:3)
10. We believe in the great commission which our Lord has given to His church to evangelize the world,
and that this evangelization is the great mission of the church. Furthermore, we believe it our
Christian duty to witness by word and deed to these truths (Matthew 28:19-20, II Corinthians 5:11)
11. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious punishment
of the lost, and the everlasting blessedness of the saved (John 6:40, Acts 24:15, II Corinthians 4:14)
12. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:13, Romans 12:5)

The following will in no way disqualify you from being a volunteer!!! Many of our volunteers have
faced difficult and challenging situations and the Lord has used them to minister to others through
this ministry. However, we do strongly encourage that counseling be sought for complete healing
before serving as Client Advocate. We have several contacts that offer various types of counseling in
these areas. We can also offer counseling for post-abortion healing through our G.R.A.C.E. Recovery
& Support group.
