Why We Exist
From Lambs to Lions
Too many Christians have been bought a bill of goods that political disengagement is a mark of spiritual maturity. In fact, at least 30 million church-going Christians sit out elections, and 30% aren't even registered to vote.
Meanwhile, public decisions affecting children, families, communities, and churches go forward without their voice. ROAR meets believers where they are: in local congregations. We explain the biblical case for engagement, offer practical training, and help people move from concern to sustained action.
Vision
Christians Voting for Christians to Implement Christian Policies
Mission
ROAR equips Christians to fight for Biblical values through policy victories.
Our Work
What We Do
Our work begins with invitations from churches and community partners. We teach the Biblical basis for Christian citizenship, help eligible people register to vote, train local crusaders, and provide continuing education about the issues and policies before them. Those crusaders then equip others in their congregations and community by organizing meaningful civic action beyond a single election day.
Our Foundation
What We Believe
Jesus Christ is Lord over every area of life.
Scripture speaks to personal conduct and public responsibility.
Christians are called to be salt and light in their communities.
Faithful citizenship can be an act of love for our neighbors.
The local church is central to forming believers who act with conviction, wisdom, and grace.
Therefore, it is a Biblical mandate for Christians to engage in civics, government, and politics.
And all Trinitarian Christians should form a bloc speaking in one voice for the Anointed One.
The Name
Why the Name
R.O.A.R. stands for Revival of the Anointed's Rule. The lion evokes courage and points to Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Our name expresses the conviction that Christ's lordship reaches beyond Sunday worship into our homes, communities, and public life. It's time for Christ's lambs to let out their inner lions.
“The Lion of the tribe of Judah”
