The Fields’s believes strongly in the Biblical concept of family

God designed the family as an expression of His spiritual truths, to reflect His image and fulfill a critical role in the earth. God commands parents to be the stewards and catalyst in instituting and demonstrating a moral and practical way of life to their children, to ensure that knowledge will be carried from generation to generation.

Parents have the ultimate responsibility to train up and educate their children, but this is being lost in our communities. Unfortunately, many are relinquishing the training and care of their children in the hands of public schools, thereby causing the decrease in family stability. In this, we believe that its’ incumbent on all to hold in high regard their historical plight and values that builds and enriches strong parental guidance and teach children their true disposition.  Parents have the God-given right to lay a sure foundation of Biblical training and structure in the life of ones’ child, not the world!
