ALTRUA’S STATEMENT OF STANDARDS

Altrua is unique among health sharing ministries in that members sign a Statement of Standards rather than a statement of faith.
So while the organization itself is founded on Christian principles, there is no theological statement or doctrinal requirement for membership.  By operating with a Statement of Standards, Altrua expands the potential member base due to the fact it is not tied to one specific faith or doctrine.
Because of my biblical convictions, I choose to live a clean and wholesome life, and share the following standards and convictions with members of Altrua HealthShare.
  • I believe in keeping my body clean with proper nutrition and consuming foods in moderation. I 
    believe that the use of tobacco, illicit drugs, and excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to 
    body and soul.
  • According to the word of God sexual relations outside the bond of marriage between a man 
    and a woman are morally wrong.
  • I believe that abortion is wrong, except in special circumstances such as rape or serious injury 
    to the mother, and then, only after careful consideration by all concerned.
  • I believe that I am obligated to provide and care for my family and that abuse of any kind, of a 
    family member or anyone else is wrong.
If you can sign on to that statement in good conscience, then you’ll be eligible to become a member of Altrua Health Share.
