From Our Founder

The last directive of our Savior was to go and teach what He had taught. Today that teaching is being distorted or forgotten or scorned. We at CUF believe that, historically, all the great good works of Christians have been a fruit of the faith; we believe that the decline of the faith opens the way to man’s inhumanity to man; we think that one cannot hope for an apple without an apple tree, and that one cannot hope for peace and unity and mutual help without the true faith.
