FAITH FOR A FRACTURED DEMOCRACY

Our faith can make us better at sharing a country with people who are different from us.

A renewed culture war is not just eating away at the fabric and institutions of American society—it’s infecting the American church, too.

Our culture teaches us that politics is a two-sided battle, and people of faith need to either stay out of it or help one side destroy the other.

But the gospel connects us to a rare set of resources for thinking, speaking and acting differently.

The Center for Christian Civics offers biblically grounded resources that change our posture in the public square. Looking at modern government through the eyes of the biblical authors and audiences transforms our vision of politics. The public square stops being a competition and becomes a collaborative responsibility. The way we approach that responsibility tells our neighbors about the character of the Jesus we claim to follow.

When Christians who are very different from one another follow Jesus into the public square together, we discover that the gospel actually gives us the strength to heal our broken politics while making Jesus look good in the process.
