OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Reflecting our belief that all human life is created in the image of God, the values at Communitas are:

Love, Compassion and Gentleness

We believe that our relationship with each person we support is inspired by the values of love, compassion and gentleness.

Teaching and Learning

We recognize that we can assist people by teaching skills, knowledge and awareness. We believe that we have much to learn from the people that we support.

Consistent Ethic

We believe that all relationships with people we support, their families, our employees, constituency, and ministry partners must be based on consistent values and principles.

Home

We believe that each person we support is entitled to a home that provides nurture, safety, opportunity, choice and shalom.

Community

We believe that community involvement enriches a person's life providing growth, opportunity and choice.

Family

We believe that it is important to support a wholesome family relationship, from which a person receives nurture, acceptance and direction for life.

Friendships

We believe that the development and nurture of wholesome relationships bring meaning to life and the greatest certainty of safety.

Spirituality

We recognize that spirituality is an intrinsic part of being human, and affirm that Christian principles provide a foundation for personal wholeness.
