Public Policy

Engagement & Outreach

Welcome to The Road Church’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.
