Representatives from Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Southern California are spearheading a statewide tour to mobilize Christian voters ahead of the presidential election. The “Comeback California Tour” aims to educate and empower churches to engage legally in the political process.
Equipping Churches for Political Engagement
During August and September, the tour will stop at multiple churches across California. These free public events will cover topics like church involvement in elections and challenges facing children in public schools. Gina Gleason, leader of the church’s Real Impact ministry, emphasized the importance of these discussions.
Resources and Support for Churches
Churches attending the events can access voter resources and meet local candidates. The initiative underscores the urgency of the Church’s role in reversing California’s moral decline and supporting families and communities. The events aim to unify Christians to bring Scriptural values and Christ’s light to the state.
The Role of Ballot Collection
Gleason explained the church’s history with ballot collection, starting in 2016. Calvary Chapel Chino Hills has become a significant site for mass mail ballot collection, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. This effort has expanded, with the church collecting thousands of ballots in recent election cycles.
Detailed Tour Schedule
The “Comeback California Tour” begins on August 17 at Calvary Chapel San Jose and continues with stops in Escanlon, Fresno, Fontana, Huntington Beach, El Centro, and Menifee. The tour highlights the potential impact of coordinated Christian voter mobilization.
