Missouri Faith Voices gathers and equips a diverse and non-partisan, state-wide network of congregations and faith based community organizations to positively impact issues affecting Missouri’s communities. We believe in the potential for transformation – of people, institutions, and of our larger culture – and the power of people of faith to lead this transformation. We believe that government can play a vital role in improving society, and that civic leaders and organizations need to claim the power to shape policy and hold public officials accountable. We value the racial, ethnic, religious and regional diversity that has shaped American society.We believe that religion can bring us together rather than divide us; that our varied faith traditions inform and inspire us to make our communities and state better places to live.
