Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

Covering the Capital: Equipping Future Leaders

Jun 2, 2026

It’s an exciting time for Faith & Liberty as we say goodbye to the current congressional interns and prepare for the summer interns who will arrive soon. The offices of our members of Congress will be buzzing with activity as will our Ministry Center — and we look forward to it!

We will have numerous visits with students coming in as congressional interns. We will share about the work of Faith & Liberty and the many ways they can engage with us at our Ministry Center and on the Hill. Students will be in groups of about 20-25 each, they will visit the U.S. Supreme Court, participate with our team on prayer walks on Capitol Hill, and have the opportunity to meet the House and Senate chaplains and congressional leaders.

Faith & Liberty is committed to ministering on Capitol Hill through prayer and worship, Bible studies and fellowship, pastoral care and discipleship. Through your active support, Faith & Liberty is standing for faith, freedom, and the family in this 250th year of America’s founding. Would you prayerfully consider giving today to support this vital ministry? We appreciate your prayers and gifts to help the Faith & Liberty team thrive as your missionaries in our nation's capital.

Why is it so important that we engage with these young people coming into the capital? First, many young people have not been raised in the Christian faith and are not involved in churches today, so as your missionaries to Capitol Hill, we have an amazing opportunity to reach these bright minds with the life-changing gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Second, for those who are believers, many have not been discipled in their faith or they do not have real depth in the study of the Scriptures. But, as our chairman, Mat Staver, has pointed out, “they have a real desire to study and learn.” Mat also noted that when Faith & Liberty engages these young people, it’s not just for “a social gathering, but real issues” are addressed, and we certainly know that this generation is encountering some substantial difficult issues.

Along with these connections, we do have several events and activities planned for the interns. Please see more about those activities below so you can specifically pray for our involvement with the interns coming to Capitol Hill. They are, after all, the future leaders of America, and because of you, we are here to help them encounter Christ and grow in their faith. Thank you for your prayerful and generous support!
