These principles provide direction and thrust to CCA and its activities.
The mission of Christian Communicators of America is to assist parents who are home educating their children with the development of communication and critical thinking skills, equipping these children to be faithful servants of the Lord Jesus Christ by preparing them to give a defense of their faith to everyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is within them, and to do so with grace, seasoned with salt.
To accomplish this mission, CCA will provide opportunities for home-educated children to participate in competitive speech and debate tournaments where an emphasis will be placed on excellence in speech, critical thinking from a Biblical worldview, and Christ-like character development. Students will be encouraged to recognize and develop their God-given gifts, to work as unto the Lord, to acknowledge God's sovereignty in all events, and to give God the glory in all that is done.

CCA upholds, and expects members to agree with, the following Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Family: We believe that Scripture defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman, as established by God in Genesis 2:18-25. We affirm that the terms 'man' and 'woman' refer to the biological sexes as determined by God's design, identifiable at birth, and rooted in the genetic makeup of each person. We further believe that the family, as ordained by God, is founded upon this union of a biological male and female, forming the essential building block of society and the primary context for raising children according to biblical principles.
Finally, the CCA Statement of Faith and the Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Family do not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself is the guiding source of all CCA religious beliefs and standards. For purposes of CCA’s practice and policy, our Board of Directors is CCA’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
