We Believe:

The family is the fundamental unit of society. No program, agency, success, or initiative can compensate for failure in the home.

Children deserve to be raised in a loving home where a father and mother are committed to each other and to their family. No family is perfect, and certainly this arrangement isn't always attainable. But we believe this pattern is the ideal and always worth striving for.

Fathers and mothers, husbands and wives should work in harmony as equal partners to provide for the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of their families.

Happy family life is centered on compassion, education, forgiveness, hard work, love, respect, self-improvement, service, and quality time together.
