The Christian values on which America was founded and built
Welcome to our American values list. We are just getting started. Our goal is to create a list of the particular Christian values that have been vital in establishing America as City on a Hill, a beacon of freedom to all people. Hopefully, this will help us better understand who we are as a people and guide us into the future."
