Our Community
Our mission:
As a family of faith, our mission is to embody and share God’s ideal of love
through education, blessing, and service.
Our core values:
We worship God the creator of the universe, the parent of humankind. We honor the founders of our faith, Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon. We value healthy and strong marriages and we stand for peace, justice and unity between all people.
Be part of our community
We strive to be a family of like-minded individuals, desiring peace, happiness, and unity. Our outlook is joyful and hopeful, seeking unity in the family, in society, throughout our nation, and the world.
In our teaching, we consider the family the “School of love”. As we grow from being children to adults, we are should naturally learn how to be a wholesome and complete human being from our relationships in our family. Our first experience of the love of God was meant to come from our parents, the sacrificial love that parents have for their children. We learn to relate to all kinds of people by being in loving relationships with our siblings, parents and grandparents, and it is through this nurturing environment that we learn to care for others.
The family is, according to God’s original design, the source of joy and life for all human beings. It is the starting point from which we create healthy individuals and healthy societies, ultimately creating a healthy and peaceful world.
