Mission – Why We Exist
Our Purpose And Vision For the World
We envision a world where people of all cultures and faiths come together as one global family, living in peace, mutual respect, and divine purpose.
At the heart of this vision is a society rooted in God's love—where the sacredness of marriage and family is honored, every individual is valued, and spiritual principles guide our daily lives.
We dream of a world free from division, where communities uplift one another and each generation is inspired to live with faith, authenticity, and service.
Through the legacy and vision of Father and Mother Moon, we aim to contribute to building a culture of heart that heals, unites, and transforms humanity—one person, one family, and one nation at a time.
Vision – What We Strive For
Our Origin
The heart of the Unification movement Rev. and Dr. Moon founded is the recreation of God's ideal family. Beginning from their own Marriage Blessing in 1960, Father and Mother Moon are calling men and women to transcend race and religion, rebuilding the family as the vessel of true lasting love, and the cornerstone of world peace through the Marriage Blessing.
This tradition of God-centered marriage provides a powerful model for building a family of true love, and expanding in life, to establish a foundation for lasting peace. Unificationists affectionately refer to the Rev. and Dr. Moon as True Parents for their taking on the role of parents to all of humankind.
