Family Research Council Inc

Policy/Worldview: FRC is committed to producing quality policy research grounded in biblical truth. Its team of policy experts analyzes legislation for its impact on life, the family, and religious freedom. In addition, FRC's Center for Biblical Worldview equips Christians with a biblical worldview and trains them to advance and defend the faith in their families, communities, and the public square. FRC's publications and educational materials apply Christian principles to the pressing cultural and moral questions Americans are facing. Through FRC's extensive network of churches, these resources are disseminated to congregants to keep them informed and equipped with practical action steps of how they can help their local communities. FRC also serves as an extension of the church to the halls of government. The Government Affairs team advocates on behalf of Christians nationwide by working closely with lawmakers on both Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to pass pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom policies while also advising against legislation that is detrimental to these biblical values.

Church Ministries: FRC operates a cooperative undertaking with and among local church partners sharing FRC's mission. FRC's ministry seeks to strengthen partner churches and Christians in general as they seek to grow in a biblical worldview, and equips pastors and church leaders through training and by providing strategic resources. Through these efforts, FRC has recruited tens of thousands of pastors and prayer partners through various forms of outreach. Pastor roundtables and pastor briefings encourage pastors to be bold and courageous in today's rapidly growing hostile culture. Special townhall events hosted by churches draw pastors and congregants from across denominational lines, such as the October 2022 event "The Rise of the Term Christian Nationalism: Where did it come from and why is it being used?" in Leesburg, VA and the June 2023 "Townhall Meeting for Life" in Des Moines, IA. FRC also co-founded the National Gathering for Prayer & Repentance, an annual event that gathers Christian and government leaders to pray for the nation and seek God's forgiveness. Training is provided for Community Impact Teams, which bring church members together for the advancement of biblical values in their local communities. FRC's Stand Courageous Men's Conferences take place in churches across the country to encourage men to develop character, cultivate positive habits, build relationships, and make commitments that will move them closer to fulfilling God's purpose and design by leading in their homes, churches, and communities. FRC also produces "Stand on the Word," a 2-year Bible reading plan that includes discussion questions and daily devotional videos, and publishes Stand on the Word Study Guides on books of the Bible including Jeremiah and Ephesians.
