The "Purpose" of the Purity Class was established by Mother Elnora C J Johnson of Michigan in 1926. She was led to create an organization designed for preserving a generation of youth with a high moral standard of living. The world has suffered a continued moral decline againstthe basic principles of Christian living the church has been upholding, and the Purity Class is designed to help keep the young people focused on the "true values of good morals, the high standards of living, Christian virtue, and to discourage all forms of vile behavior that violate true Christian virtue." The Purity Class teaches three principles: Cleanliness, Righteousness, and Holiness; in the home, school. community, and the church. We also offer programs and activities to encourage youth to a Christ-centered life of involvement in their church community whereyouth of their same age are involved. Our ultimate Purpose is to try and save our Puritans from the evils of this society such as: homosexuality, drugs, and immorality.
