We Believe
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
We reaffirm our conviction that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life. May the Lord guide us in all our undertakings.
