ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
Scripture reminds us of many accounts in which God’s people, equipped with the gospel, engaged with those in positions of power. The impact of unleashing the gospel in a government center has enormous potential for the promotion of healthy communities and nations. Ministry to State is advancing the Church’s reach into those government communities.
Ministry to State cares foremost about people, not policy. We believe God’s Word is full of wisdom for anyone seeking to integrate their faith with public service. We aim to create a community of study, prayer, and formation in order to encourage those whom God has called into public service.
OUR MISSION
GOSPEL
Expose those in the government community to the transforming truths of the gospel through healthy relationships.

WORLDVIEW

CONSCIENCE
Strive to be instrumental in establishing and maintaining a Biblical conscience throughout the government community who both create and implement policy.
CHURCH
Provide a healthy means to connect the church in a non-partisan manner with those in government.

Promote and facilitate specific and intelligent prayer by the body of Christ for those serving in government.
