Mission: Founded in 1977, CPJ has sought to bring a Christian witness to bear in American political life by developing a practical, integrated, biblical perspective on politics, law, public service, and society. The Center's mission is to equip citizens, develop leaders, and shape policy in pursuit of its purpose to serve God, advance justice, and transform public life. Today, Americans hold a wide range of clashing perspectives on public life. Christians often stand at odds with one another: some drive for political dominance, some pursue special interests, others retreat for purity's sake. Individualism and morally divided leadership fragment our country. Many citizens mistrust government and are disengaged from the political process. Interest-group politics rule the day. Bipartisan agreement is all too rare. And the poor and weak suffer most from the consequences of injustice. CPJ is committed to public service that responds to God's call to do justice. We believe Christians should contribute to the renewal of political life. We want to encourage office holders and citizens to take their civic responsibilities seriously. We envision a republic where government is competent, leaders are trustworthy, and civil society is thriving.
