Train to Mentor Newly Elected Officials in Their Walk with Christ
Empower Leaders. Shape Legacies. Transform the Public Square.
As newly elected officials step into the challenging arena of public service, they face immense pressures, ethical dilemmas, and spiritual tests. Their influence shapes laws, culture, and the future of our communities. Now, more than ever, these leaders need wise, Christ-centered mentors to walk alongside them—guiding, supporting, and discipling them as they fulfill their calling.
Why Mentor Elected Officials?
Public Service is Spiritual Warfare: The public square is a battleground for truth, integrity, and godly values. Officials are often isolated and targeted by forces that oppose biblical principles.
Lasting Impact: A leader discipled in Christ can influence generations, championing life, liberty, and justice for all.
Biblical Mandate: Scripture calls us to make disciples of all nations—including those in authority.
“Ministering in the public square can be very difficult relationally. Things can get heated quickly. Having a plumb line for relationships is essential.”
