• To heal hurts and bind up the wounds of daily life.
• To encourage and develop friendships and lasting ties of Christian love.
• To proclaim the sanctity of Christian marriage and to strengthen individual families.
• To provide children with an atmosphere of love and nurture; to
• equip them to face a harsh world knowing that in Christ there is gentleness and peace.
• To demonstrate to the world and thereby to other people that God is alive and works through all situations for the good of every person.
• To continue to grow as a force for good, healing and peace among all people.
