Mission

Established in 2022, the Center for Christianity and Public Life is a nonpartisan nonprofit in Washington, D.C. with the mission to contend for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good. We advance our mission through two streams of work: Christian Formation and Public Influence. Our work is grounded in the conviction that spiritual formation is central to civic renewal. As Christians, we cannot sell what we do not have, and we cannot offer a life we are not living ourselves. In a frantic, anxious public square, CCPL advances a model of joyful confidence in Jesus, which opens up possibilities for a more gentle, just, and other-centered politics and culture.
