​​VISION

We believe that every church in America should have a pastor, elder, deacon, or congregant running for or serving in a local, state or national elected office in 2026, 2028, 2030, and beyond. When church members turn out en masse and vote for members of their congregation, the result will not remain limited to positive change at the local level, but will extend up the ballot, all the way to the top! This kind of grassroots mobilization amplifies voices that may otherwise go unheard (because of inaction) and brings about positive effects in America’s governance and policies.

​

We all know that politicians are not going to save America, or that Wall Street or even our powerful military will do so. If America is to be saved, Biblical values must be returned and espoused in the public square. The spiritual enlivening now taking shape across America is the hallmark of a spiritual resurrection that will brightly radiate from America’s churches, and so directly engage the culture as well as restoring identity, direction and morality in our nation.

​

The American Renewal Project was founded in 2006 to give greater currency to the principles laid down by the American Founders. The Project’s focus is to minister to people of faith in their transition from spectators to participants in the cultural arena, with its emphasis on religion and morality, the cornerstones of political freedom in the United States. Due to the removal of the Bible from public education, the last three generations are unaware / ignorant regarding America’s original Biblical founding.

​

American Christendom has played defense for so long that Christians have forgotten what offense looks like. Learning to play offense will take time as cultural transformation requires knowledge, experience, expertise, and wisdom coupled with engagement.

​

To make the equivalent of what secularism has done to public education over the last 100 years or so, let’s suppose that teachers over the next decade secretly begin baptizing kids at school and hiding it from parents - what would be the Left’s reaction?

​

The Founders did not retreat from involvement in society and politics. They did not turn civil government, the making, enforcement, and adjudication of laws over to Satan and those who serve him. They did not surrender the ministry of civil government to those who are in rebellion against God. Naysayers doubtful of the spiritual resurrection of America should know that in partnership with The American Renewal Project Gideons and Rahabs are beginning to stand as over 100,000 pastors have now attended Renewal Project events.
