Why the Family is America’s Most Urgent Frontier
America is facing a crisis that begins at home—the family.
Across the nation, rising poverty, increasing violence, and widespread moral confusion all point to one urgent issue: the breakdown of the American family.
This fundamental shift affects every aspect of our culture, economy, and society.
The 2025 Essential Summit confronts this crisis head-on with a powerful call to action: restoring the family is not just a hope, but an imperative for the future of our communities and nation.
The landmark Hope and a Future report reveals how the decline of strong, thriving families is closely linked to many of the challenges we see daily—poverty, poor education outcomes, and even rising abortion rates.
This evidence makes one thing clear: if we want to heal America, we must begin by reviving the roots of family life.
Strengthening marriages and parenting with biblical principles is the most strategic and effective way to reverse the trends that threaten our society’s stability.
The Essential Summit offers a unique opportunity for concerned Christians, parents, and church leaders to come together, learn, and become part of a movement committed to cultural renewal through family restoration.
It’s not just a conference—it’s a gathering of believers ready to act boldly in faith and truth.
If you care about the future of your community and country, there has never been a more urgent moment to stand for the family.
Join us in Columbus on October 2, 2025, and be part of the solution. Together, we can revive what matters most and secure hope for generations to come.
