Why Engage Exists
The Church is to be faithfully engaging culture with the witness of the kingdom of God through preaching, praying, and fruit-bearing. This witness is to be made to all humans, human institutions, and human rulers. The scriptures reveal that the Spirit, through the apostle Paul, clearly calls the Church to pray for rulers (1 Timothy 2:1,2) and to witness to the gospel of the kingdom before kings (Acts 9:15). We believe it to be a scriptural mandate for the Church to engage.

What Those Engaging Are Saying
Kindness Over Criticism
“Most of them [public servants] don't ever get encouragement…. So, we try to teach our church to encourage them to help give them a good email rather than all the bad ones.”

Influencing Those In Positions
“Political parties and government aren’t our savior, but they do shape much of our culture.”

We are a City on A Hill
"We need Christians in every facet. We need Christians as doctors...in the workplace and entrepreneurialism and ministry and missions and in government. These are not separate, but threaded together."
