Our Philosophy & Founding Staff Covenant

The International Parenting institute™ (hereafter referred to as IPi™) founding staff philosophy and covenant is a covenant our founding staff members have made before God with the people we serve, our clients and those we encounter every day.  Although IPi™ is built upon a foundation of Christian values, we do not infer religion beliefs into our business practice or as a requirement of our staff. Our advisory board was formed as a separate entity from the founding staff in part to maintain a neutral yet ethical and well balanced viewpoint of IPi™'s business operations.

The IPi™ Philosophy and Founding Staff Covenant

Having been led as we believe, by our faith and the Spirit of God, we serve the needs of all we meet with an open and humble heart.  Having been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, Angels, and those who read this, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one team and body unselfishly serving the needs of others in the glory of God's will with a humble heart. 

We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit of God, to work together in Christian love; to give it a place in our labors, affections, prayers, and services above every organization of human origin; to sustain God's ordinances of His word, discipline, and doctrine; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to help others to become prosperous as God has prospered us in our labors, for the support of faithful and dependable service fulfilling the needs of others throughout the world.  In case of difference of opinion by any member of our staff, we will all strive to avoid a contentious spirit amongst us, and if we cannot unanimously agree, we will cheerfully recognize the right of the majority to govern the actions of ourselves as a functional group.

We also engage to maintain family and children devotion; to strive to educate others in manners to enjoy life to a greater degree with lesser risk of harm to themselves or their children; to study diligently to provide nothing but the very best in our labors for our customers to ensure satisfaction will always be assured; to study in a diligent manner, the Word of God; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be kind and just to those in our employ or alliance with our team, and remain faithful in the service we provide to others; and to remember if we shirk our responsibility in our labors to provide nothing but the very best, we are impacting our fellow team members in their labors.  We must continue without ceasing, endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will towards all men in order to exemplify and commend our holy faith and labors before God and all men.

We further engage to watch over, pray for, to exhort and stir up each other unto every good word and work; to guard each other's reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each others joys, and with tender sympathy bear one another's burdens, and sorrows; to cultivate Christian courtesy; to be slow to give or take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the word of God in the 18th Chapter of Matthew, to secure it without delay; and through life, amid evil report, and good report, to seek to live to the glory of God, who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Our CEO's Covenant to the People

As CEO of IPi™ I pledge my covenant before God which will be between our clients, and all I come in contact with each day; to ensure the commitment of the IPi™ philosophy and staff Covenant by my fellow founding staff

I promise to remain steadfast in my efforts to be an example in God's eyes for others to be able to follow in my labors, consistent and dedicated to keeping my actions and that which I speak in accordance with the word of God; to remain persistent in the labors of motivating others to exercise their talents to the best of their ability in all things be they great or small.
