Top 10 Values for National Service Charity

Our values reflect a foundation in Western conservative and Christian principles that built old Europe and forms the foundation for American exceptionalism. These basic values help potential partners discern if their ideas align with our mission of empowering everyday people to uplift others through community action. Rooted in beliefs like an enduring moral order, that the universe has a Creator and has set a divine purpose for society. This list prioritizes personal ethics, family, and a moral community without delving into partisan matters. We hope that you find this encouraging and we look forwad to speaking with you further about your ideas to help others.

  1. Faith in God: Faith in a Divine Power and Presence from a Judeo-Christian worldview. This primary value does not require our partners or project leaders to adopt a faith oriented world view, but it does require that our paretners not be in direct conflict with that historical perspective.
  2. Sanctity of Human Life: Valuing every human life as having eternal value regardless of their skin color, nationality, circumstances surrounding their conception or the desire of the parents to bring that person into the world. Life possesses a dignity that cannot be removed by a slavemaster, mother or society that thinks they can prejudge the value of a life and diminish that value based on the current economic, political or cultural ethics.
  3. Strong Families: Upholding the full family unit as the foundational building block of society, where love, commitment, and mutual support nurture future generations.
  4. Personal Responsibility: Encouraging individuals to take ownership of their choices and actions, fostering self-reliance and accountability as pathways to growth and contribution.
  5. Hard Work and Integrity: Embracing diligence, honesty, and ethical conduct in all endeavors, viewing labor as a noble expression of stewardship and character.
  6. Generosity and Charity: Practicing selfless giving of time, resources, and compassion to those in need, reflecting the call to love one's neighbor as oneself.
  7. Moral Courage: Standing firm in convictions with boldness and confidence, even when facing challenges, to uphold truth and righteousness in daily life.
  8. Respect for Tradition: Honoring time-tested wisdom, customs, and moral teachings that have sustained societies throught history.
  9. Love of Neighbor and Community: Building strong, supportive relationships through empathy, respect, and active service, prioritizing unity and mutual aid over division.
  10. Stewardship of Resources: Managing God's gifts—whether time, talents, finances, or the environment—with wisdom and responsibility, aiming for sustainability and blessing others.
