Mission

           Our Mission is to Promote...

Limited Government
The primary role of government is to protect rights, especially those "inalienable" rights "endowed by our Creator," as our founders understood and intended. Certain problems exist in society that are not the responsibility of government to solve. Furthermore, many legitimate government purposes can be accomplished more effieciently through contracts with the private sector.

Free Markets
Free enterprise, not government, is the best source of personal economic growth. The existence of healthy competition is a benefit to all citizens. In the words of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, it "promotes the general welfare." With few exceptions, markets should remain free of government-designed dictates and advantages.

Strong, Traditional Families
Marriage is to be a lifelong relationship between one man and one woman. Government has the high honor and responsibility to protect it, fortify it and advance it for the "general welfare" of the citizenry, but the church should be at the forefront of teaching and promoting biblical principles for marriage - for its preparation, its creation, and its growth.
