Many churches and pastors feel called by Scripture to equip the saints to represent Christ in all areas of our society, including the voting booth. Pastors should thus be supported in their goal of helping their members be good stewards in their civic duties. This is especially important in light of the fact that only one out of every four Christians in America votes.
Unfortunately, many churches and pastors have been given false information about their rights. The law is actually very supportive of pastors and churches in fulfilling their mission to equip their congregations. Even as a non-profit corporation, there are many things a church can do!
Individually, a pastor can do whatever he feels led to do: endorse, support a member’s campaign, etc. There are no limitations. The few limitations above that exist are only for the Church entity and only if the Church is a non-profit corporation.

(A) LIFE
Wyoming Family Alliance stands in defense of all innocent life from conception to Natural Death. For this reason, Wyoming Family Alliance has supported legislation to protect children from Chemical and Surgical abortion as well as the vulnerable from the coercion of Assisted Suicide.
(B) RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Believing that freedom of the mind and heart is the foundation of all freedoms, Wyoming Family Alliance stands strong for the 1 st Amendment to the US Constitution. The 1st Amendment was carefully written to affirm that there would be no state religion, and that the government would not restrict the free exercise of one’s religious beliefs. Wyoming Family Alliance supports legislation such as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and other legislation that helps citizens when government power is used to demand conformity to secular religion.
(C) FAMILY VALUES
Wyoming Family Alliance understands that the family is the foundational building block of society. Therefore, we will support legislation that assists families when it becomes apparent that government programs or elected officials impose ideologies that allow the government to become the masters rather than the servants to families in our state.
(D) EDUCATION FREEDOM
Wyoming Family Alliance believes that a child’s education should be driven by the family rather than government bureaucracy. Educational policy is best served in an “educational marketplace” that empowers parents to find the solution that fits their needs. Therefore, we support legislation that gives parents options such as Charter Schools, Education Savings Accounts, Homeschools, or empowers them in the Public School Environment.
