By the grace of God we make this steadfast pledge: to glorify God by promoting the gospel of Jesus Christ which brings salvation to the human soul and thus enables the individual to worship God as Creator and personal Savior (John 3:16; 4:23; Rev. 4:11; 5:12-14); by promoting the beauty of holiness and the bestowment of “glory due unto his name” in Christian worship and culture (Psalm 29:2; 2 Chron. 20:21; 1 Peter 1:15,16); and by promoting with particular emphasis the artistic and spiritual development of Christian college-age students preparing for professional careers and/or ministries in music (2 Chron. 34:12; 1 Chron. 25:5,6; Heb. 13:13-16).
