Statement of Faith

applies to all American Heritage Girls’ Charter Organizations, Adult Members and Adult Leaders.
"We believe that there is One Triune God – Father, Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit – Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshipping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe that each individual is called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship and integrity."

Clarity is further provided to the following terms:

Purity- God calls us to lives of holiness, being pure of heart, mind, word and deed. We are to reserve sexual activity to the sanctity of marriage; a lifelong commitment before God between a man and a woman.

Service- God calls us to become responsible members of our community and the world through selfless acts that contribute to the welfare of others.

Stewardship- God calls us to use our God given time, talents and money wisely.

Integrity- God calls us to live moral lives that demonstrate an inward motivation to do what is right, regardless of the cost.
