Seven Priorities for Faithful Leadership

Open only the section you need. Each priority gives one biblical foundation and one practical leadership action.

1 Start With PrayerJames 1:5; James 5:16; Jeremiah 33:3 +

Ask God for wisdom, humility, unity, courage, and protection for life and families before building any communication plan.

Action: Establish a recurring churchwide prayer emphasis.
2 Reinforce Biblical PrinciplesPsalm 139:13–16; Proverbs 31:8–9; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6 +

Ground the conversation in the sanctity of life, advocacy for the vulnerable, God’s design for marriage and family, and the church’s call to be salt and light.

Action: Identify the key Scriptures your church will consistently reinforce.
3 Anchor in ScriptureColossians 2:7; Psalm 139; Proverbs 31; Matthew 5 +

Keep Scripture—not partisan language—as the church’s unshakable foundation and the source of its public witness.

Action: Build every sermon, announcement, and resource around a clear biblical foundation.
4 Explain the StakesKeep the explanation clear, accurate, and understandable +

Explain that constitutional amendments are foundational and difficult to reverse without overloading people, using jargon, or relying on fear-based messaging.

Action: Prepare one concise explanation your leaders can repeat consistently.
5 Call for ActionPrayer, awareness, participation, and voting +

Help faithful people move from understanding to prayer-filled participation through clear, practical next steps.

Action: Name the next action every time you communicate.
6 Model the Right ToneColossians 4:6 +

Stand firmly in truth while avoiding personal attacks, fear-based messaging, and communication that does not reflect Christlike courage and grace.

Action: Review all public communication for clarity, accuracy, and Christlike tone.
7 Give a Clear Congregational CallPray, understand, prepare, and participate +

Lead with enough clarity that every person knows what to pray, what to read, where to find voting information, and what to do next.

Action: End with one unmistakable call to action.
