The following values guide the development of learning objectives, service opportunities and curriculum selection for the program:

1. Spiritual Discipline(s) of prayer, reading, memorizing and meditating on Scripture, quiet time with God, journaling.

2. Knowledge - growing in knowledge of Scripture, doctrine, church history, philosophy, etc.

3. Holiness / Godliness (positional and manifested)

4. The Local Church (God's construction project here on earth)

5. Service (selfless, sacrificial service in the church and community)

6. Competence (development of talents/abilities; striving for excellence)

7. Simplicity (living as aliens - eagerly awaiting the return of Christ)

Key Scriptures that lay a philosophical foundation for the program are:

Ephesians 2 & 4 / 1 Peter 2 / 2 Timothy 2

Furthermore, the over-riding values and purpose of Fair Havens Ministries (FHM) and the basic doctrinal tenets of the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada (AGC) serve as anchors to ensure that the philosophy and content of this program are well-grounded in Biblical truths.
