Biblical Principles for Governance

Foundation: Government as G-d's Institution

We believe that government is ordained by G-d for the purpose of promoting good and restraining evil (Romans 13:1-7). This divine mandate gives government both authority and responsibility to operate according to biblical principles.

The Ultimate Goal

Our goal is not to establish a theocracy, but to see biblical principles influence public policy for the flourishing of all Americans. We believe that when government operates according to G-d's design, all people benefit from the resulting justice, peace, and prosperity.

As we engage in the political process, we do so with humility, recognizing that our ultimate hope is not in government but in the Kingdom of G-d. Yet we also recognize our responsibility as citizens to be salt and light in our nation's civic life.
