Jaycee Creed

We believe:

That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;

That the brotherhood of people transcends the sovereignty of nations;

That economic justice can best be won by free people through free enterprise;

That government should be of laws rather than of people;

That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality;

And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
