Mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy Spirit, Mind, and Body for all.

These core values are at the heart of all we do: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility

Caring: Let us think about each other and help each other to show love and do good. (Heb. 10:24)

To love others.
To be sensitive to the well-being of others.
To help others.

Honesty: Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life. (Prov. 4:23)

To tell the truth.
To act in such a way that you are worthy of trust.
To have integrity; making sure your choices match your values.

Respect: Show respect for all people. Love the brothers and sisters of God's family, respect God, honor the king. (1 Peter 2:17)

To treat others as you have them treat you.
To value the worth of every person, including yourself.

Responsibility: Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. Each person must be responsible for himself. (Gal. 6:4-5)
