We believe that the gospel is the foundation upon which Northern Ireland can flourish, and that through it, our people and place can be transformed. Our team works hard to represent Christians and churches in public conversations and at Stormont on issues that matter. We will provide a hope filled, trustworthy and confident voice into the media and government and champion a wide range of voices in the evangelical community. We want to see a church that is informed and equipped to engage in politics and we want to help you play a part.
