The Center for Christianity & Public Life
On October 20–21, 2025, The Center for Christianity & Public Life is gathering in Washington, D.C. for the third annual For the Good of the Public Summit.
This event is for anyone who wants to see a healthier politics and public life, and believes Christianity has something to offer that shared project.
Every year, CCPL brings together leaders from across sectors—churches, nonprofits, business, education, media, and government—for a generative gathering where attendees consider together how to love neighbors, serve communities, fight poverty, pursue justice, and influence politics and public life for good.
Throughout the summit, participants will explore the kind of people they will need to be to serve the public and contribute to our politics with joy, integrity, courage, and moral imagination.
