My Faith Votes, a nonpartisan movement that motivates, equips and activates Christians in America to participate in elections, has launched Our Church Votes, a campaign to equip pastors and encourage church attendees to register to vote in upcoming national and local elections, beginning in Virginia, Georgia and California.
“The strength of the effort is its simplicity,” said Rev. Johnnie Moore, who is co-chairing the initiative with Rev. Samuel Rodriguez and Pastor Jentezen Franklin. “We are just telling Christians to go to ourchurchvotes.org, and there they can find out what they need to register to vote as an individual and to download resources to help get their church community registered. We are expecting to register at least 50,000 new voters in Virginia alone, through church communities.”
While the initial campaign is focused on local pastors and churches, any individual can find the information they need on the website to register to vote.
The campaign equips pastors and church leaders with free professional resources to empower and mobilize people in the pews to action. Some of the resources include a step-by-step voter drive guide, sample sermons and group discussion guides and legal guidance to help pastors and church boards navigate concerns that arise when mobilizing voters.
