Community Living Agreement

FLI's lifestyle expectations are designed to aid in the development of community life with a distinctively Christian emphasis. Above all, students are expected to base their conduct on biblical principles and strive to follow the example of Christ in all things. More specifically, students are expected to demonstrate love for other people and respect for federal, state and local ordinances, as well as policies established by Focus on the Family and the Institute itself. Students should conduct themselves in a manner that is honest, upright, and committed to lovingly confronting sin.

The Institute recognizes that the Scriptures do not provide definitives on all matters of conduct or social practice. The Scriptures do, however, provide guidelines such as requiring self-restraint in that which is offensive or harmful to others. This applies to both behaviors and attitudes. While the Institute understands that some individuals will not have personal convictions fully in line with our lifestyle expectations, members of the Institute community are expected to subordinate their individual prerogatives and personal preferences in standards of conduct for the benefit of the community. Applicants who cannot, with integrity, support these standards should seek another living/learning environment.
