I support the mission of Hagar’s Sisters

Please check to confirm your support of Hagar’s Sisters mission and sign.

Hagar’s Sisters provides all services through a Christian lens. Volunteers who interact with or do work related to our programs are required to share our Christian faith. However, there are volunteer positions within the organization that do not require a person to hold Christian beliefs. We ask those who are not of the Christian faith to be respectful of our beliefs and our spiritual practices in the office, at organization gatherings, and as we serve, which may include conversations about our beliefs, scripture reading, spiritual conversations and prayer. Our Statement of Faith is as follows: The ministry of Hagar’s Sisters is rooted in faith in the triune God revealed in Jesus, as expressed in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. Hagar’s Sisters is guided by the convictions that God is passionately opposed to all forms of abuse; that God charges us to help the oppressed; and that all work done to end the cycle of abuse is received by God as an act of worship.

My beliefs support all aspects of Hagar’s Sisters Statement of Faith.
My beliefs are different than those outlined in the Statement of Faith, but I agree to being respectful of the Christian beliefs of the organization’s employees, volunteers, contractors, and those we serve, and Christian spiritual practices.
My beliefs do not allow me to support this statement.
