WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To the glory of God and the honor of Jesus Christ our Lord;
To worship and adoration, to prayer and praise. 
 

WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To the joy of comradeship in a great cause;
To the searching mind and the understanding heart, to a faith that is not blind and a hope that hath foundations. 
 

WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To quickened response with those who are burdened by poverty, beset by temptation, or shadowed by grief. 
 

WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To the enhancement of all life by the enrichment of art,
through eloquence and song, through poetry and drama, through music and architecture. 
 

WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To the feeding of souls that hunger for beauty, the guidance of those who seek truth, the satisfaction of those who thirst for God. 
 

WE DEDICATE THIS HOUSE . . . 

To a ministry to those who shall minister the things of the Kingdom of God. AMEN.
