Churches ... and Pastors
Many Churches and their leaders are hesitant to be 'politically active' for fear
of losing their freedom or offending parishioners. Our goal as an organization
is to help educate pastors and church leaders so they are aware of their
freedoms!! We want to honor these shepherds while at the same time promoting
responsible Christian Citizenship
We believe that God has called us all - not to necessarily 'be in politics' -
but to be Responsible Christian Citizens. And despite our fears, those in the
Church really do have freedoms, not for partisan politics, but to know our
elected leaders, pray for them, educate church goers on where candidates stand
on issues, let them know what legislation is moving toward new laws and much
more.
Take a look at some of the material here, from trusted resources. We believe God has put us here on this earth for 'such a time as this'. The world that battles ideals, questions morality, attempts to re-define absolute standards, and is more and more turning their back on what God has defined as standard. You and I have no choice but to be involved.
Because if we - as Church leaders and attendees - do not participate in the
public conversation - who will? It is imperative we know our freedoms. We
must walk in knowledge and not fear.
Make sure to
email us all of your questions! It is our pleasure to serve you, your Church
family and the leaders of your worship assembly!
