The first goal is to develop a consciousness (both a family and a social consciousness) based on Christian principles and examples. The second goal is to develop responsible, concerned and happy families that are part of a supportive and affirming network of families within every community who will individually and collectively reach out to others in need. The third goal is to offer opportunities for families to grow in their personal relationships with one another as well as with their friends, neighbors and co-workers. The fourth goal is to develop a caring society that not only recognizes, but actively supports family life. The fifth goal is to initiate and encourage research that impacts on the actual needs of families. The sixth goal is to continue to foster the international spirit of the Christian Family Movement.

Famous quotes containing the word goals:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Whoever sincerely believes that elevated and distant goals are as little use to man as a cow, that “all of our problems” come from such goals, is left to eat, drink, sleep, or, when he gets sick of that, to run up to a chest and smash his forehead on its corner.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
