ese important outposts have largely been overlooked
by neighborhood churches as viable mission fields despite
the fact that civic leaders make decisions that impact the
very bedrock of American society, and even though most
state and national leaders begin their political careers in
local office.
For too many years the church has targeted the institu-
tion of civil government and has spent time and resources
on lobbying efforts in hopes of changing unbiblical laws
that regulate society's moral and social issues. Capitol
Ministries believes in a different approach. We focus on
the most in fluential component in the legislative pro cess:
the men and women who make the decisions and create
the statutes. It is these men and women whom Capitol
Ministries wishes to influence for Christ through Local
Government Ministries, an organized endeavor to estab-
lish ministries in hometown U.S.A. As founding father
Benjamin Franklin observed, good hearts make good laws.
In partnership with the local church, Capitol Ministries
is recruiting biblically-reliant, intentional, Bible teaching
evangelists and teaching them how to build discipleship
Bible studies to community political leaders. Our mis-
sion is to reach elected and appointed officials from mu-
nicipal judges, mayors, and school board members to city
managers, city and county commissioners, dog catchers
and beyond.

communities and they are the workplaces of local leaders.
