Values & Beliefs

DIGNITY

The Latin phrase IMAGO DEI translates to “Image of God.” We believe each person is created in the image of God and therefore has inherent worth. All are deserving of love, honor, and respect.

INDIVIDUALITY

We believe every person is uniquely created. Nobody is defined or limited by a diagnosis, each having specific gifts, talents, and skills to share with the world.

COMMUNITY

We believe humans are designed to be in relationships. Community is essential in order to get through the difficulties of life. Every person can contribute and can have a lasting impact on others for generations to come.

EDUCATION

We believe the more we learn, the more we can achieve. Educating ourselves and others promotes understanding, which is essential to acceptance and inclusion for all.

VITALITY

We believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive. By holding to our values and beliefs, we are able to create a culture of vitality for each individual and for our communities.
