Our Beliefs...
Spring to Life training programmes are built on these principles:
- Everyone is of equal value, with God-given personality and abilities.
- Everyone has free will and is responsible for the choices they make.
- God intends us to live in right relationship with one another and with our environment.
- The Bible offers guidance for right living and principles for establishing emotional well-being.
- Everyone experiences imperfect relationships because of personal and relational shortcomings.
- Developing emotional well-being may require changes in our values, attitudes and behaviours. God empowers us for these through our relationship with him.
We believe that:
- Fulfillment in life springs from personal & relational well-being (emotional literacy), which is based on healthy growth in these five areas: spirituality, identity, responsibility, authority and relationships.
- Everyone varies in position along a continuum of well-being, depending on their circumstances and their development within the five areas (above).
- With appropriate training and support, people of all ages & circumstances can learn to develop greater emotional literacy and therefore experience improved well-being.
As Christians, we also believe that:
- Each one of us has intrinsic worth, having been made by God in His image and He knows us completely.
- We have been made for relationship with God and though our sin is a barrier to knowing Him, we can be reconciled to Him through repentance, receiving forgiveness & believing in the saving power of Jesus' death and resurrection.
- When restored to relationship with God, we receive a new identity as His children, making it possible to love, accept & forgive ourselves & others, thus fulfilling His purposes in our lives.
- The Bible gives us instruction and the Holy Spirit empowerment for right living.
- Fulfillment is a realistic goal, within reach of every human being; it is part of God's plan for each of us.
The company, both staff and directors, of Spring to Life are committed to these beliefs and principles. They work to apply them in their own lives and encourage others who are similarly inclined, whilst respecting the personal beliefs of all individuals.
