Florida Capitol Project

Join us as we pray for our legislators and stand in the gap for them and their families.

“I searched for a man among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land so that I might not destroy it, but I found no one.” – Ezekiel 22:30 HCSB

Our hope is to build relationships with our legislators. We ask for nothing of them. No policy discussions. No agenda. We just want to pray for them and with them. We want to stand in the gap for them and their family.

Our Core Principles

1. God desires ALL people to be saved. (2 Peter 3:9) (1 Timothy 2:4). 

2. God does not fit neatly into political parties or political theories. He is not a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. He is God. Neither is He conservative, liberal, or moderate. He is God (1 Corinthians 1:25). 

3. America is not a covenant nation, like biblical Israel. It is a nation that has often been blessed because of God’s grace and because it followed the Lord, His principles, and His precepts (Psalm 33:12). 

4. Moralism does not equal spiritual transformation (Romans 10:3). (Romans 2). 

5. Only the Gospel has the power to properly transform people, who together transform a nation. 

6. The Church is not a worldly voice. It is an ambassador of a heavenly kingdom. 

7. The power of true cultural renewal lies in the Word of God, not in the halls of kings. 

8. Both the Church and the government are institutions created by God. They have unique roles that must remain distinct but must work together under God (Romans 13:2) (2 Chronicles 19:11). 

9. The king has been uniquely called by God to administer justice with the aid of the timeless counsel of the Church (2 Kings 12:2) (Romans 13) (2 Samuel 8:15). 

10. As Paul ministered to both the Jew and the Gentile, we will minister to the Republican, Democrat, and Independent in unique ways that never compromise the truths of the eternal Word of God. 

11. Our identity is not in a political party. We stand for God’s Word, and ask others to join us there (Joshua 5:13-14). 

12. We understand that David ruled with justice and righteousness because he walked with the Lord, his God. 

13. We are missionaries who work to build intentional relationships with the ministers of the Lord’s institution of government with a goal to serve all, build up the saints, and win the lost.

Our Mission is to build a relationship between the shepherds of God’s church and God’s government as portrayed in the Bible.

The Florida Capitol Project is the avenue in which we are working with pastors across the state of Florida to develop a ministering relationship with our elected officials.

Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

8. We believe God’s design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. God instituted marriage between one man and one woman as the foundation of the family. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman.

9. We believe that God created all humans in His image. Therefore, we believe that human life is sacred, that we must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people, and that following Jesus’ example, every person should be treated with love, dignity, and respect.
