Focus on the Family Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Focus on the Family Institute is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado and is a satellite organization of Focus on the Family. It is not accredited by any group recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or United States Department of Education.[1] It is a Christian institution which admits 88 young adults (up to age 26) per term (Spring, Fall, and Summer). The Institute is geared toward preparing future leaders who are committed to living Christ-centered lives, including promoting and defending Christian values in their homes, communities, and nations.
[edit] Mission Statement
Focus on the Family Institute, commissioned by Focus on the Family, exists to provide a unique Christian educational community that nurtures passionate and persuasive leaders who are committed to Jesus Christ, equipping them to promote healthy families, vibrant churches and a civil society.[2]
Some view Focus on the Family as a fundamentalist right wing group, against gay rights, against reproductive rights, and the group actively tries to bring religion into government.
