It shall further be our purpose to maintain facilities and programs (i.e., educational, missionary, evangelistic) that will encourage all members and non-members to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord, and that will help them to develop spiritual maturity; furthermore, such facilities and programs will promote missions, Christian Education (whether on Sunday or throughout the week as an alternative to the course of instruction offered by the public schools), etc. All personnel, literature, programs, and behavior will be controlled to help attain this (these) purpose (s).
