Our Purpose and Vision for the World

  • Mission – Why We Exist

    At Belvedere Family, our mission is to cultivate a vibrant and loving spiritual community that reflects God’s original ideal for humanity: one family under God.

    We are committed to creating a nurturing space where individuals and families of all backgrounds can grow in faith, develop their God-given potential, and experience the transformative power of unconditional love.

    Through worship, education, service, and fellowship, we seek to empower people to live lives of integrity, compassion, and purpose—guided by the teachings of Father and Mother Moon.

    Our community strives to be a beacon of hope, unity, and healing in the world, reaching out with open hearts to serve others, strengthen families, and build bridges across all boundaries.

  • Vision – What We Strive For

    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.

Our Values

  • Unconditional Love

    We strive to be people who can embody True (unconditional) Love and believe that True Love is the strongest force in the universe.

  • Authenticity

    We believe that the greatest offering we can make to the world is being true to who God created us to be and offering our full selves. It’s more important to be true than to be “perfect.”

  • Family

    Our community exists for the sake of empowering families and future generations. We prioritize family in all that we do because peaceful happy families create a peaceful happy world.

  • Faith and Substance

    We are committed to creating a new world centered on love for God, creation and one another. Therefore we do what works, what moves our reality closer to the vision and adjust when things aren’t working all the while seeking guidance from the spirit.

  • Unified Diversity

    We honor and celebrate the diverse cultures of our families, recognizing the traditions and experiences each family brings. These are valuable sources of wisdom and insights, creating an inclusive community.

  • Legacy and Vision

    We honor the teachings and sacrifices of our founders, Father and Mother Moon, by continuing their work to build a world of peace. We carry forward their legacy with faith, conviction, and hope for the generations to come.

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.
