Welcome Friends,

This page is especially designed for coalition partners with the Faith and Freedom Coalition who desire to train members of their church, Sunday School Class, Small Group, Christian School, or non-profit group on the principles of Christian Civics.

This page seeks to organize a subset of the entire Christian Civics Training library into a “curriculum” that a group leader can use to lead a group and facilitate discussion.   Alternative uses of putting the links in church email or social media campaigns has also been very effective in educating, training and mobilizing members to practice their faith as Christian Citizens.

Leaders, take a look at this entire link list.  Cut and paste the links into a word document in the sequence that you would like to teach the material.  Then use your video links list to conduct your group sessions or to develop your social media campaign.

Based on the time of year or the cultural issues going on at the time that you are doing this teaching you can rearrange the order.  You can cut the list in half.  You can spread it out over two years.  You can use some of the links in a discussion group setting and then send out a link or two during the week between classes.   Create a social media campaign.

You are in charge.   The material can be organized and delivered in any fashion you see fit.

Please contact us with any questions.  Here's to seeing "God's Kingdom Come".

Additionally, take a look at hosting a Christian Civics Sunday around National Day of Prayer, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Constitution Day or Veterans Day.   For more information click here.  You can also sign up for the Christian Civics Email Service on the home page.
