Our Mission:  To unite for the defense, restoration and preservation of the Constitution for the United States of America and it’s inseparable Bill of Rights; to unite American Patriots and to insure that the usurpers of our Constitution respect our natural, unalienable, inherent and God given rights, which are also guaranteed to us by the Constitution for the United States of America and the Bill of Rights.

Our Creed:   The C.R.E.S.T. is not a single organization but rather an alliance of independent entities united under a single unifying charter.  Each local C.R.E.S.T. County Council sends a representative to their respective State Council. Each State Council is represented at the C.R.E.S.T. National Council for the purpose of jointly coordinating our efforts nationwide.

The C.R.E.S.T. exists to assist fellow members if his or her constitutional rights are violated by any government power, agency or court. We will use our combined resources in defense of our members.
We will never abandon our fellow members facing tyranny and our presence will always be felt while injustice persists.

We reaffirm our faith in the purpose and principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States and express our desire to live in peace with all peoples and governments.

We are determined to safeguard the freedom and common heritage founded under the principles of republican government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law and our unalienable rights endowed to us by our Creator. We naturally oppose those that are hostile toward these principles.

We endeavor to provide an organized means of citizen based security for our communities and to prepare for all possible threats including terrorism, criminal activities, and internal subversion of the United States Constitution and even armed invasions of the United States.

We regard firearm skill and safety as an essential cornerstone of our organization. We train at regular intervals to maintain a highly organized and skilled membership. The armed citizen was essential to the founding of our nation and we proudly continue this revered American tradition. Armed citizens are the last line of defense for our nation and the first line of defense for our individual families and communities.
