Who We Are
The Church Ambassador Network (CAN) is a division of The Family Foundation of Virginia, which works with churches across the state. We are advised by a steering committee consisting of a wide variety of leaders from multiple evangelical denominations/associations. Church & State
The Church Ambassador Network builds strategic relationships between the two institutions of church and sta
te, as they work to bring solutions to the deepest bondage facing our communities, such as homelessness, addiction, and children in the foster care system in need of a forever home. As we learn of private-public partnerships in Virginia, we seek Church-State partnerships that can bring true transformation to a community. Government was Instituted by God
Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 show us that government was instituted by God, for a purpose and with the responsibility to punish evil and reward those who do good. Government is God’s social institution of justice, a value so important to God, His Son was killed on the Cross to satisfy its requirements. You Get to Choose
As Americans, we get to choose our ministers of government. He also expects us to be good stewards of this opportunity and select righteous, qualified individuals to serve as ministers in government. Our right to vote is a gift from God to
use to honor Him (Matthew 25:14-30). Statement of Faith
-We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
