Our Purpose & Beliefs
The Standing For Freedom Center exists to uphold the Christian faith and defend America’s Constitution. We honor human dignity, individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. The Center serves to inform all Americans in matters of faith and liberty, and then deploy these faithful men and women across every medium and platform to protect and defend our strongest-held beliefs in every facet of society.
- We affirm as infallible all teachings of Scripture. We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We affirm that a person is saved only by faith, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ at the cross.
- We believe that religious liberty, limited government, free markets, rights of the unborn, right to bear arms, and traditional virtues are necessary foundations to a free and prosperous society.
- We believe that the threat of authoritarian statism, secularism, and socialism is contrary to the human spirit and a present danger to a free and prosperous society.
- We affirm the vision and intent of America’s founders and the purpose of civil government to secure natural rights given by God as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and defined the U.S. Constitution. This freedom from tyranny is guaranteed to all Americans.
- We believe that all citizens have a duty to promote, preserve, and defend American values through continuous cultural renewal and political engagement.
