Capitol Ministries

Capitol Ministries ® on Facebook A prominent presence on Facebook is one of the many ways Capitol Ministries ® keeps in touch with our donors, supporters, and prayer part- ners. We also use Facebook as a way to introduce ourselves to those who do not know us. Through daily and often twice-daily posts, we offer Bible verses, stories about Legislators to whom we min- ister, video news stories that feature Capitol Ministries ® , and the Bible study that is being taught to U.S. Senators and Representatives in Washington, D.C. that week, among other pertinent topics. As Facebook is interactive, followers keep in touch with us by comment- ing on the posts, or offering opinions on issues that are important to them. Through content sharing, our sto- ries are re-posted on the follower's homepage and our circle is enlarged as their friends and family also be- come acquainted with the messages and the ministry of Capitol Minis- tries ® .

Like the oak tree, Capitol Ministries® is committed to a strong infrastructure, and we accomplish that, in part, through technolog y. Our website, capmin.org, is our hub, the nucleus of our ministry, the central and most important conduit through which information is disseminated to Ministry Leaders, Public Servants, and supporters across the globe. From anywhere in the world and with an electronic device, our Ministry Leaders can access our website where they will find Bible studies offered in English and foreign languages. ey will find ministry updates which tell the stories of Cap- itol Ministries®, our full statement of faith, historic and in- spiring quotes from U.S. founding fathers, video files of news stories about Capitol Ministries®, information about upcoming conferences, and audio files of Bible studies that can be easily downloaded, all offered without charge. rough our interactive website, and the CapApp which can be used on any electronic device, Capitol Ministries® has created a technological infrastructure which enables our sup- Technology
