CEH consists of leash elements: The heavy feel of faith, depending within the personal relation by owning God through Christ; a celebration of individuality & a unique talents for each person; & an ethic of service to humanity as a whole.

A central idea of CEH is "Love God, love thyself, love thy neighbor: Obey God, know thyself, serve thy neighbor", equally adapted from either a "greatest commandments" of Christianity: "Love God with all your heart, soul and mind," and "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

CEH occurs as straight descendent of the traditional African-American church experience, which has universally experienced the place for single talent as expressed through the arts and humanities, and for faith as expressed through service to the community at prominent.

As an philosophy, CEH is most closely related to the function of the Danish philosopher Kierkegaard.
