Mission Statement
Mid-Valley Fellowship is a local Christian organization that presents a message of hope and healing for those struggling with sexual brokenness. We minister to individuals, churches, and those facing the reality of a spouse, family member, or friend impacted by sexual brokenness.
Mid-Valley Fellowship is a non-profit, interdenominational ministry, serving the Central Willamette Valley (Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, and Salem). We are not a mental health facility. Instead, our methodology utilizes personal testimonies, trained lay counseling, Biblical instruction, and Christ-centered accountability groups.
We offer a choice to those who struggle with sexual identity issues. We support no political agendas or candidates. We firmly believe that sexual and relational redemption is available for all who seek it.
Mid-Valley Fellowship upholds heterosexuality and sexual fulfillment within the confines of marriage as God’s creative intent for humanity. Accordingly, we view homosexual expression and non-marital sexual activity as outside of God’s intent. We recognize homosexual tendencies and sexually addictive behaviors as disorders that beset fallen humanity, among many others.
Choosing to resolve homosexual tendencies through homosexual behavior, taking on a homosexual identity, and involvement in a homosexual lifestyle is considered destructive, as it distorts God’s intent for the individual and is therefore sinful. Likewise, choosing to resolve a desire for intimacy through sexual activity outside of marriage is considered destructive, as it distorts God’s intent for the individual and is therefore sinful.
Unfortunately, neither of the two most common responses to the issue of sexual brokenness truly resolves the conflict. The first is to condemn the sexually broken out of fear, ignorance, and self-righteousness. The second is the unqualified validation of the individual and his or her lifestyle choices.
Instead, we believe that Christ offers a truly healing alternative to sexual brokenness. Mid-Valley Fellowship upholds redemption for the sexually broken person as the process whereby sin’s power is broken. The individual is freed to know and experience true identity as discovered in Christ and His Church, and that process entails the freedom to grow into sexual wholeness.
