YMCA Character Development

Caring (to love others, to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others.)
"Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood." -Acts 20:28

Honesty (to tell the truth, to act in such a way that you are worthy of trust, to have integrity; making sure your choices match you values.)
"A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies."  -Proverbs 12:17

Respect (to treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person, including yourself.)
"Give everyone what you owe him:  If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, t hen revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."  -Romans 13:7

Responsibility (to do what is right, what you ought to do; to be accountable for your behavior and obligations.)
"I'm not responsible for what the outsiders do, but don't we have some responsibility for those within our community of believers?"  -
