Public Affairs Department

Public Policy and Theology aims to serve and represent our members and the wider Christian constituency by presenting Christ credibly and working for social, cultural and spiritual transformation of our communities.

We will speak on behalf of our members and represent evangelical concerns to Government, the National Assemblies, the media and key decision-makers.

In resourcing our members and encouraging Christians to fully engage in their communities as responsible citizens, we also want to make evangelical truths publicly accessible as well as theologically challenging and relevant.

These are exciting times for Christians to work together to be "salt and light" in the public square as agents of change. Let us hear from you. Come and join us!
