Although God’s children are individuals who live in different places, have unique life circumstances, and exhibit different perspectives about spirituality and religion, research shows that people generally hold these universal values.

Universal Values

  • Love
  • Acceptance and Inclusion
  • Connection with Deity or Personal Spirituality
  • Family
  • Community
  • Authentic Service
  • Personal Growth

It can be effective to relate one or more of these values to your topic, especially when addressing large groups of people who represent different ages, genders, backgrounds, and levels of knowledge.
