We want the shepherds of God's Church, pastors, to connect with
shepherds of government, our governing authorities as a:
•PERSON
•SHEPHERD
•PARTNER

What Does Success Look Like?

Helping people see what they don't see
• When Government Leaders see who they are called
to be in Christ.
• When Government Leaders see the Church as a
primary resource in addressing the needs facing our
communities.

The Right Heart is Critical
◦ Christ CENTERED
◦ Non-PARTISAN
◦ Relationally BUILT
