- We encourage and promote scriptural standards of excellence and outstanding quality in the operation of Christian schools and other religious ministries.
- We oppose the state control of Christian schools and other ministries of the local church through a chartering or licensure process.
- We believe that the leaders of local churches are directly responsible to God and that they will be held accountable according to the commandments, principles, and penalties imposed by the Scriptures.
- We believe that parents have a primary responsibility in the approval of education ministries and that this responsibility is vested in them by the Scriptures.
- We believe that, as non-chartered schools in the present legal setting, we should not seek governmental aid such as general funding, services, equipment, or vouchers.
