Beliefs and Values

Christian Faith: We believe in Jesus Christ, God's Son, as the revelation of God and as Savior and Lord of all who accept Him by faith. We believe that the Christian church is composed of those who commit themselves to live under His Lordship and to share with each other. Christian love is a central quality of the Christian faith and becomes the basis for our relationship with all people, regardless of creed, ethnic origin, nationality, sex or political view. Our response to human conflict, injustice, war and racial tension is based on the biblical teachings of non-violence. The service ministry of Communitas Supportive Care Society is established as a positive expression of this understanding.

Mission Statement: Communitas is a service provider, advocate and resource for persons living and dealing with mental, physical and/or emotional disabilities. Since all human life is created in the image of God, Communitas will seek to show God's love to all persons and serve them with dignity and respect.

Philosophy of Service:The ministries of Communitas are performed in the name of Christ, arising in response to human need and the call to Christian discipleship. The program uses personnel with a wide variety of skills, backgrounds and levels of education and maturity. It is hoped that both personnel and program can serve as channels for healing and reconciliation in a broken and divided world.

Personal Qualities: People are carefully selected for assignments, taking into account the resources of the individual and the demands of the assignment. An attempt is made to select personnel who:

  • - are ready to identify with and participate in the life and activity of the Christian church and the community where assigned
  • - are committed to a life of non-violence and respect for all people
  • - possess the personal, emotional and vocational resources needed for creative work in this field of service
  • - demonstrate the resilience needed for adjustment to new ideas and cultures
  • - are willing to be responsible to a team
  • - are capable of working within the framework of program goals, and able to work at problems of program and human relations with honesty and openness
  • - are willing to be mutually supportive of each other and respectful to other cultures and beliefs and to our supporting constituency
Respond as desired to the statements above.
