Our Mission
Our mission is to help ensure that all Americans continue to enjoy the God-given liberties set forth in the Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution, and Bill of Rights — by equipping every pastor who joins us with the training and resources needed to secure Liberty for our own and the next generation of Americans.
“Pastors today continue to bear responsibility, not only for the eternal welfare of their flocks, but also for their temporal welfare by leading resistance to arbitrary governance and promoting God’s gift of Liberty.”
What We Do
Through Project Josiah, the Gideon’s 300 Pledge, and state chapters, we mobilize pastors to lead resistance to tyranny and champion constitutional freedoms.
We are building a company of Black Robe Regiment pastors in every political jurisdiction in America — asserting the vital leadership of the Church in civil government.
We provide patriot pastors with training, resources, and a national network to preach the whole counsel of God — including the sacred duty of civic engagement.
The Gideon’s 300 Pledge
Join hundreds of pastors across America who have signed the Gideon’s 300 Pledge and are standing firm for Liberty in their pulpits, their communities, and their nation.
Legacy & History
From the time English settlers arrived on American shores, the clergy have played a decisive role in securing civil and religious liberty. The British called them the “Black (Robed) Regiment” — a derisive reference to their pulpit robes — and rightfully so. John Adams observed that preaching had “effected a revolution in the hearts and minds of the people before the war commenced.”
Among the first English settlers, Rev. Hunt planted a cross at Cape Henry and dedicated the new land to God — establishing the spiritual foundation of the American experiment.
First Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Winthrop’s vision of America as “a city upon a hill” set the moral and civic framework for a self-governing Christian republic.
Called the “Morning Gun of the Revolution” by John Adams, Mayhew’s 1750 sermon condemned unlimited submission to tyranny — igniting the ideological fire of American independence.
Pastor Clark helped train Lexington’s militia — the “Minutemen” — who fired the shot heard ’round the world. The Black Robe Regiment stood at the very birth of American liberty.
We believe it is the sacred duty of Evangelical Christians to actively oppose abortion.
