The kind of people we are has much to do with the kind of politics we will have.
The fate of American democracy is tied to the character of Christianity in this country.
That’s why our mission is to contend for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good.
We advance our mission through two complementary streams of work which need and rely on one another.
Civic Renewal
Our Approach:
Nonpartisan, deeply personal, and drawing from a rich diversity of Christian resources to equip leaders with both knowledge and practice to engage civic life with enduring impact.
Christian Civic Formation: We grow, resource, convene and represent the community of Christians who are convinced that spiritual formation is central to civic renewal. We do this work principally through an ecosystem of programs focused on different groups of current and future civic leaders, including our Public Life Fellowship, our Community of Young Christians in Politics, private retreats for senior civic leaders, and the Public Good Generation, our high school civics program.
Public Imagination: We explain Christianity to the public and offer Christian resources for the good of the public. We produce new research and leverage existing research, and we convene scholars, civic leaders and other stakeholders to drive ideas, shape national discourse and press coverage, and inform and influence decision-makers. Through our annual summit, For the Good of the Public, the Public Life Fellows’ Journal of Ideas, and other interventions, we offer Christian contributions to civic leaders–and through them, the broader public–to advance civic renewal.
