Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.“ Capitol Ministries provides weekly opportunities for members of Congress to break bread in fellowship but more importantly, to take a deep dive into the spiritual nourishment of the Word of God. The commitments that Ralph and Danielle make to organize and lead our Thursday morning studies are testaments to their heart for service, and it’s a highlight of my week to attend. I encourage all members who desire to grow their knowledge and relationship with God and to grow closer to fellow believers to give the Bible study a try.

Ministry Quotes

Dr. Dan DeShong

As CapMin’s Director of Local Government Ministries, I am seeking qualified candidates to establish weekly Bible studies to city and county elected and appointed public servants across the United States. I also led the first LGM Bible study to city and county commissioners in the greater Sacramento, CA area. I taught the curriculum, Oaks in Office: Biblical Essays for Political Leaders, which contains the most pertinent Bible studies Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries, has authored to meet the spiritual, personal, and professional needs of Christian legislators over his more than 25 year ministry. Our Sacramento group is still meeting to study the Bible and we are studying Oaks in Office a second time.

The experience was exhilarating to say the least! None of us had any idea that the Bible had so much to say about immigration, parenting, racism, deficit spending, and other contemporary issues. One elected official had planned to leave politics and now he says, “No wonder God has me in this position!“

As Christians, we sort of take biblical precepts and doctrines for granted, but when the issues are broken out in specific chapters like Ralph has done in Oaks in Office, they become very clear and very real.

This first group was pretty excited about this study and will be sharing their story with city and county commissioners around the country. Who knows where God will take this?

Ministries to local government public servants have been planted in California, Texas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, and in dozens of provinces and territories in European nations.
