Mission Statement: With Jesus Christ as our cornerstone, Lutheran Parish Nurses International, NFP equips parish nurses to extend the healing ministries of Christ. Vision Statement: As parish nursing exists as a visible expression of Christ's healing ministry, LPNI exists to serve the Lord and His Kingdom through support to parish nurses serving in national and global Lutheran communities. With His blessings, LPNI strives to further serve by providing an international network to support the needs of current and future parish nurses, and to promote the growth of the ministry teamed with pastoral care to respond to whole-person health, promoting physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual wellness. Statement of Faith: We accept the inerrant, inspired Word of God to be the sole source and authority of our faith and life. We believe that there is one God in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, to live the perfect life as our righteousness, to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings, and to rise again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan. We believe that all people are lost sinners and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, who works the Word and the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. We believe that all people will be resurrected - those who are saved through faith in Jesus Christ to eternal life, and those who are not in Jesus Christ to eternal damnation. We believe in the Christian Church - the unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God is the Creator and Owner of all things, including our lives. We therefore treasure life as a gift of God and uphold the sanctity of life from the moment of conception to death.
