​

Prevention First

We believe that prevention is the best lifestyle choice.

It is better to build a fence at the top of a cliff

than to park an ambulance at the bottom.

​

Informed and Equipped

We are informed about the harmful effects of alcohol, illegal drugs, including marijuana, tobacco, and the misuse of prescription drugs. We read and study current scientific research so that our efforts are based on facts, not opinions.

​

Sharing Knowledge

Through Signal Press and in coordination with others, we provide scientific, factual, and up-to-date materials for use in schools, churches, organizations, and homes. Our publications include books, leaflets, lesson kits, study aids, newsletters, and journals.

​

A Legacy of Faith and Action

We belong to an organization with over 150 years of continuous witness for Christ in both public and private life, “banding Christian women together for the protection of the home.” The WCTU is a worldwide fellowship, active in 64 countries, and was honored by a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

​

For Every Generation

The WCTU is truly a family organization. We welcome:

• White Ribbon Recruits & Totts for Temperance (birth to age 5)

• Loyal Temperance Legion (ages 6–11)

• Youth Temperance Council (ages 12–21)

• WCTU Members (women of all ages)
