Welcome to Capitol Ministries Indiana!

Regardless of party affiliation, political agendas and personality conflicts, we all have a biblical mandate to pursue prayer and thanksgiving for our God-ordained leaders. First Timothy 2:1-4 instructs us how to minister to political leaders. This passage was particularly instrumental in helping me recognize God’s calling to minister to the Statehouse community.

Teaching the Bible is also an integral part of carrying out the Great Commission. Through faithful proclamation of God’s Word in the Indiana Statehouse, we trust that God will enable us to foster meaningful relationships that provide many evangelism and discipleship opportunities.

Already God has provided divine appointments with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ serving in the Indiana Legislature. These relationships are laying the groundwork for ministry in Indianapolis and throughout the entire state as we launch Capitol Ministries Indiana.

As part of the Capitol Ministries team, I look forward to serving alongside men and women who share our vision and will support us and pray for us as we strive to bring the gospel to all of the political leaders of Indiana.

We have a full schedule in this coming year, so please pray for my family and me as we traverse the Hoosier State. Most importantly, please pray for the salvation and spiritual growth of Indiana’s political leaders.
