Right now, over half of Ohio’s children (53%) are growing up without their father in the home. This is a generational emergency that’s fueling cycles of poverty, crime, educational failure, and emotional instability.

US House passes Protect Children’s Innocence Act and HHS moves to bar chemical castration and sex-rejecting procedures on minors.

Right now, LGBT activists in Ohio are trying to cancel CCV from speaking at the City Club of Cleveland because we believe the truths the Church has taught for more than 2,000 years.

As we look back on 2025, we’re in awe of what God has done through churches, educators, and families who share this conviction: Christ must be at the center of our children’s education. Every one of these numbers tells a story of answered prayers, renewed purpose, and Ohio communities transformed…

This is a wake‑up call that every effort to normalize gambling weakens moral and cultural goods like fair competition, integrity, and community wellbeing.
