Faith Family Freedom

Public Policy Engagement & Outreach

Welcome to The Road’s public policy engagement, Faith, Family & Freedom!  The three F’s sum up much of what is important in terms of first – relationship with God and our ability to serve God with freedom in our country, state, and community.  Thus, religious freedom is paramount to being able to exercise our faith.  Family – our earthly biological family and being in the family of God and the relationships grown from family are central to our health and well-being. Freedom – the ability to think freely, move freely, speak freely and act freely without hindrance or restraint (in keeping with our earthly laws} always being reminded that God’s laws give us the most freedom.

On this page, we will have resources and links to civic engagement and legislative issues that are of importance to The Road congregation.

Join The Fight!

The spiritual battle is real and present in Colorado! As Christians, we can’t remain on the sidelines, but must join the fight. Let’s be a voice for the voiceless together!

Aaron Salt is a Christian family man and is actively involved in his community. Recently, his conservative values have put him and his family through numerous trials, That’s when the verse, “what the enemy planned for evil, God will use for good.” (Genesis 50:20) rang loudly in Aaron’s heart and inspired him to raise $25,000 towards a Colorado Mobile Medical Clinic! The Bible tells us that whatever we ask Father in His name, He will give us. Let’s rally to offer more support for moms who feel trapped by abortion in our state! Learn more about Aaron’s story and how you can get involved to fight for life.
