Statement of Beliefs Ash members agree that it is supremely important to unite in a spirit of compassion, regardless of race, denomination (we are nondenominational), age, gender, sexual persuasion, or political affiliation. We display or compassion outwardly through the sharing of health care needs. We are bound by a common passion to use our collective resources to help people struggling with the financial, physical, and emotional burden of health care expenses. We believe it is our right to direct our own health care, free from government dictates, restraints, or oversight, and want to be a part of a health share ministry whose mission is to assist members through their personal health care challenges. ASH members agree to be bound by the established member guidelines and sharing levels, as well as committing to monthly contribution levels base upon the sharing level they individually chose. ASH members know and understand that their participation is voluntary and does not represent a contract for insurance. Members understand that their medical needs will be shared upon the sharing level in which they choose to participate, and that sharing is facilitated from member to member through the ASH needs processor.
