Christians are called to seek the good of their communities, but what does faithful public engagement look like today?

Join Standing Together and the National Association of Evangelicals for a free Pastor and Leader Lunch event, along with ministry updates and a conversation designed for pastors and Christian leaders. Lead with both conviction and credibility — in your congregation, your community, and the public square. Together, we will explore biblical principles for advocacy, discuss key issues affecting our neighbors and consider how public witness can contribute to community flourishing and the glory of God.
