Partnership Empowers Christians to Run for Public Office

In 2018, Kevin Stitt was a businessman and political outsider in Oklahoma with no previous campaign experience. With the help of first-time campaign manager Aamon Ross, who founded Kingdom in Politics, Stitt was elected Oklahoma’s 29th governor — receiving more votes than any other gubernatorial candidate in the state’s history.

After that historic gubernatorial win, Aamon founded Kingdom in Politics, a campaign school that he created with the mission of raising up 100,000 believers to run for office within 10 years.

“For many in the Church, politics is a forgotten space,” said Ross. “When we lead with Kingdom ideals, our nation will prosper.”

Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, remembers the all-consuming challenge of running for Congress in 2018, and how having access to the principles of Kingdom in Politics could have helped her navigate the arduous campaign process, while saving time and money.

“For such a time as this, it is with great excitement that Christians Engaged announces a strategic partnership with Aamon Ross to train the church how to run for political office,” said Pounds, whose national organization will distribute Kingdom in Politics’ extensive non-partisan campaign training program to inspire and prepare Christian leaders to take next steps in running for political office.

In 2021, Ross produced the first version of this e-learning video for individuals, churches, businesses, NGO’s, and small groups across the nation, to prepare talented Kingdom members to achieve their higher calling as public servants.

The more than 20-hour video course features practical training on “Running for Office,” “The Art of the Pivot,” and “How to Run a Campaign,” as well as a detailed workbook and interviews from Christian experts on a variety of campaign-related topics.

One candidate offered the video series praise, saying, “I am certain The Lord led me to Aamon and Kingdom in Politics to create the foundation, confidence, and support that propelled me to a substantial victory.”

Ross said in conclusion, “With Christians Engaged as our new strategic distribution partner, we are stronger and even more committed to raising up an army of nation-changers who are equipped to make a positive difference in their cities, counties, states, and throughout our nation.”
