Resources: How Would Jesus Vote?

Politics is a sticky business. Each party claims that their platform has a monopoly on attaining a bright future for our country. This year's presidential election, in particular, has deeply divided Americans, and for those seeking to embody Christ, the choice can be especially difficult. This series is not about telling you how to vote. It's about exploring the question of how, as a Christ-follower, to engage in the political arena. Come and be challenged in your thought process...or, just come for the free pizza! This is a CAM class not to be missed, mostly because you can catch the campus-church bus there! After the class, feel free to stick around for the 6:00pm services and catch the bus home. Look below for additional resources.
