Our Purpose

To stimulate cultural renewal by strengthening Michigan families through public advocacy, education, and collaboration.

We will accomplish our mission by aggressively promoting a positive legislative agenda and providing thoughtful, cutting-edge research focused on four key areas:

Strengthening Marriage
Promoting Responsible Fatherhood
Protecting Our Children
Honoring Our Elders

Our desire is to share the truth about the family in a winsome, relevant way.

Research and Public Policy Philosophy


 

Our Core Beliefs

 


The Family

Healthy family formation and preservation provides a ocial benefit that should be promoted by all sectors of our society.

The nuclear and extended family is the foundational institution that supports all societies.


Marriage

Strong families are founded on the following ideal: the life-long marriage of one man and one woman.

Healthy life-long marriage enriches the lives of the couple, their children, and the community around them.


Fatherhood

Fathers play a unique and irreplaceable role in ensuring the economic, emotional, and social health of children.

Father absence creates turmoil in the lives of children and our culture.


Children and Elders

Our children need the protection of stable families and a healthy understanding of human sexuality.

Our elders deserve to have security and care provided by loving family members in a comfortable home environment.


The Limited Role of Government

Government should promote the common good by encouraging faith-based organizations, families, and private institutions to nurture and protect the family and vulnerable citizens.

Government should eliminate barriers that discourage the formation of healthy families.
