CORE VALUES
At Citizens Defending Freedom, we believe truth is not determined by culture, government, public opinion, or the trends of the moment. Truth originates with God and has been revealed through His inspired and authoritative Word. The Bible serves as the foundation for how we understand human dignity, justice, morality, freedom, family, and the responsibilities entrusted to individuals and institutions. Our work begins with the conviction that lasting freedom is inseparable from biblical truth.
We also believe that God established distinct spheres of authority, including the family, the church, and civil government, each with unique responsibilities and limitations. The United States Constitution provides a framework for ordered liberty that protects these God-given institutions and the rights they possess. Accordingly, our mission is guided by a commitment to biblical truth, constitutional principles, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the preservation of a free and self-governing society.
Our Core Values are expressed through three distinct pillars: Education, Elections, and Faith. Together, they reflect our commitment to defending freedom, strengthening families, preserving constitutional self-government, and advancing a biblical worldview in every area of American life.
EDUCATION
We believe parents, not government, hold the primary responsibility and authority to direct the education, moral formation, and future of their children.
ELECTIONS
We believe free, fair, and trustworthy elections are essential to preserving constitutional self-government and the liberties entrusted to the American people.
FAITH
We believe God's Word provides the foundation for truth, justice, human dignity, and the flourishing of individuals, families, and communities.
“WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.”
