Mission

Our mission is come alongside and assist Christian parents who are “training up our children in the way that they should go." We do this through teaching effective reasoning and winsome communication skills that glorify God through competitive speech and debate. We strive to help equip our students to become ready to “give an account for the hope that is in their heart”.

Values

Show respect and grace to one other in an effort to build one another up. (Eph.
4:29 & Eph. 5:4)

Strive for integrity in all we do: honesty, sincerity, responsibility, accountability and

loyalty. (Prov. 2:20-21)

Participation and Dedication: attend with a good attitude, shoulder your share of

the burden: (Gal. 6:2, Phil 2:14-15).

Foundational Beliefs

Pro Gloria Dei is a non-denominational Christian club. We are guided and operated
according to biblical principles and follow the teachings of scripture in our policies and
operation. As such, we carry an expectation that our students never present material in
their speeches or presentations that is contrary to scripture or that violates the
principles taught in scripture.

Alignment

We recognize that members of our club come from different denominations and
backgrounds. However, all of our members align with the statement of faith - the Nicene
Creed, and our position statements regarding marriage, gender, and biblical inerrancy.

Association

Our club is associated with the National Christian Forensics and
Communications Association (NCFCA). For more information, please visit www.ncfca.org
