IAB VALUES 

We affirm the Black and African community as a shared family, rooted in mutual care, collective responsibility, and solidarity with all who stand against oppression. We cultivate spaces of belonging where dignity is honored and no one stands alone.

We commit to educating Black children and youth to become faithful stewards of their history, culture, and heritage, equipping them to reclaim identity, resist erasure, and shape liberated futures.

We proclaim that Jesus Christ stands with the oppressed and continues to suffer alongside them, particularly with Black and African peoples. Guided by this conviction, we advocate for justice, truth, and dignity in the face of systemic injustice.

We practice deep love, care, and responsibility for Black and African communities, expressing compassion not as sentiment but as faithful action that restores dignity and nurtures life.

We encourage Black and African youth to pursue knowledge, self-development, and disciplined growth, equipping them to think critically, lead wisely, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the world.
