About Us

American Values Coalition provides a home for evangelicals seeking to restore and rebuild family, friend, community, and church relationships broken by hyper-partisanship and detrimental information-consumption habits. We’ve witnessed our faith become captured by political tribalism in churches and ministries across the nation. But a Church that seeks first the eternal kingdom of God will not become captured by political leaders for worldly gain. We seek a gospel-centered political engagement that will recognize our fallen natures and prophetically advocate for the common good.

Our Values 

Our faith compels us to seek the flourishing of all people. Nationalism, tribalism, cronyism, and authoritarianism are contrary to these goals. 

Our civic life requires a healthy patriotism, such that political decision making emerges from civility, pluralism, and healthy disagreement, rather than demonization, dehumanization, and political violence.  

Democracy functions best when we respect human equality, recognize the image of God in each other, and seek common ground across our differences. 

God calls us to be truthful in every aspect of our lives. We strive to humbly discern and advocate for the way of truth to the best of our ability. Callous manipulation of news and information for tribal or personal gain poisons our discourse and relationships, and dishonors God. 

Liberty and justice for everyone are the bedrock of our core principles that we will promote through fairness, honesty, and clarity.
