As Protestants for the Common Good selects particular issues of public policy to be addressed, it often develops statements that convey how the organization approaches, understands, and makes recommendations on the matter.

The statements are of two kinds:

Principles, which outline the axioms that serve as the basis for PCG’s sustained programmatic work in a particular area of public policy:

Faith Reflections, which set forth PCG’s thinking on important topics but are not necessarily included in the organization’s programmatic agenda:
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in."
- Abraham Lincoln
