Mission

Mission Statement

The USS Bismarck is a mission-based organization with a STAR TREK theme, nonprofit organization whose mission is to put IDIC principles from the franchise into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. By solidifying our connection with public through understanding of their needs, the USS Bismarck aims to provide comprehensive programs and services that enrich our community and the people who live within it.

The fulfillment of our mission requires a true understanding and dedication to our core value of the IDIC philosophy from the fictional Vulcan race in the franchise. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (IDIC) is the basis of Vulcan philosophy and represents “the belief (shared by the franchise creator Gene Roddenberry) that beauty, growth, and progress all result from the union of the unlike. The idea is based on learning to delight in our essential differences as well as learning to recognize our similarities.” The crew (members) of the USS Bismarck are dedicated to this philosophy and stive to promote it by caring, honesty, respect, duty, dedication, and responsibility towards each other and their community. Guided by these values, the USS Bismarck is dedicated to giving people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
