Capitol Ministries

54 2023 "One of the most important things I believe a member of Congress must do in order to stay grounded is to get connected and stay connected to fellow Christians through a regular Bible study or prayer group. That is what Capitol Ministries provides—sound teaching, serious discussion, and good fellowship. The Thursday morning House Bible study is a highlight of my week, and I am so thankful for Ralph and Danielle for the work they put into preparation for teaching and their faithfulness to be in Washington to minister to us."
