“The overall condition of a nation is a direct reflection on the condition of the faith community. The pulpit is largely responsible for the moral condition of our country.

The Church has been silent for too long and we have lost ground in critical areas of our society. Sunday mornings alone are no longer enough. We must take a stand as people of faith and use our voice to proclaim God’s truth in our communities. It’s time to bring transformation not only to Washington, but locally, to our school boards, city councils, boards and commissions and state capitols across our nation. It's time to turn our faith into action so we can turn America back to God!” -Mark Gonzales – Founder & President, Hispanic Action Network

Pastor Mark Gonzales has been mobilizing the Church for civic impact for over two decades. He has spoken at the White House, before Congress and chaired numerous election campaigns.

As President of Hispanic Action Network, Gonzales generated a substantial national footprint in researching data, designing, printing of over 6 million guides specific to 16 key states in the 2016 election including Puerto Rico, and hand-distribution via HAN’s grassroots networks and engagement with over 80,000 churches in the 2016 election alone – which overwhelming proved to provide triple the evangelical voter turn-out than the last 3 elections. Gonzales has worked in 32 states, mobilized 150,000 churches to the polls, and distributed over 25 million biblical voter guides in his years of civic engagement.

Mark will be at Heartland Church on Thursday, March 5th from 6:30-8:00. If you're questioning the church's role, looking for encouragement, or wondering how you can be part of making a civic impact, be sure to join us!
