Flourish in the Public Square

Faithful Presence

The vision of Faithful Presence is to equip servants and leaders working in our nation’s capital to flourish as they participate in Christ’s mission of making all things new through intentional spiritual, emotional, relational, vocation, ideological, cultural and evangelical discipleship; and supporting churches in equipping their members for Christ-centered engagement with the public square.

In other words,

Whole-Life Discipleship. In the Whole of Life. For the Whole of the Public Square.

For followers, seekers, and skeptics

 

Faithful Presence is for everyone in Washington who is excited about using their gifts to make an impact, while also struggling with the reality that they are finite, fragile, and fallen — in a setting that offers as many opportunities as it does disappointments.

  • Spiritual

    Spiritual discipleship is an ongoing and intentional process of Christian formation of individuals that God has called as ambassadors of his kingdom to serve and lead in his mission, “…to proclaim the excellencies of the one who called us out of darkness and into his marvelous light.”

  • Emotional

    Emotional discipleship takes seriously a critical aspect of our lives. It seeks to apply the open, honest, and authentic narratives of Scripture to our mental and emotional health that enable us to flourish.

  • Relational

    Relational discipleship, in a town built on relationships, is essential for conflict resolution, navigating workplace dynamics with uneven power differentials, and loving one’s neighbor as yourself.

  • Vocational

    The intersection of work and faith goes beyond ethics, evangelism, and economics. Through our work, we are offering foretastes of the kingdom of God to everyone as we seek the flourishing of all.

  • Ideological

    Recognizing that the term itself raises problematic connotations underscores the necessity of pursuing ideological discipleship. The Bible speaks to all of life, including the most complex questions we face.

  • Cultural

    Cultural discipleship enables us to properly understand, appreciate, and cultivate the diverse and changing culture around us, including the political context in which we live and work.

  • Evangelical

    Christians are called to “proclaim the good news” (that’s literally what the word means) through our lives and how we engage the world around us. In this, we participate in Christ’s mission of “making all things new” through offering foretastes of the coming kingdom.
