The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past.
 
We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.

Please check out VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE on there web page and see all the programs that they have to offer.

We are advocates for the Godly principles upon which this nation was founded. Our mission is to protect, defend and reclaim our nation’s Christian Heritage. It is our mission to be a center for Biblical resources that equip and support Pastors, Layleaders and others to be servants to carryout their Biblical duties as “salt and light” in our culture through civic activism (Matt 5:13).

I’ve done just about any job you can think of. By far, after being a mom, my favorite job was being a part-time nanny for 3 amazing toddlers who are growing up too, too, fast! Big sister is four and twin bro, thers are 2 years old. Yep. Lot’s of activity; lots of drama; lots of diaper changes (yikes!); lots of laughter, hugs, kisses and sheer joy.

Corporate world: not so much sheer joy. Catering: lots of fun, but not many hugs and kisses. Real estate: well. . . not so much:-) God gave me a writer’s heart, mind and soul. He also gave me a passion for children.

I’m back in the corporate world now working for a private agency providing counseling to children and families. Not as many hugs, but great people working hard to make the world a better place.

“In Metropolitan Richmond, the Christian community is comprised of many diverse groups and denominations.  In the years ahead it is vital that they Christian churches in our region work together despite the differences between them.  A greater degree of cooperation is critical if we are to influence this surrounding region with the love and goodness of Christ.” – Dr. James Anderson

“Thy kingdom come.  They will be done in earth as it is in heaven.  This scripture has gripped my life for many years.  As a native Richmonder, my passion for City Transformation is deep and sincere.  My hope and prayer is, as you read these pages, your passion for a Christ-centered transformation of Metropolitan Richmond would be awakened like never before!” – Don Coleman

We invite you to download “Connecting Churches to Bless Metropolitan Richmond”.  After you prayerfully read and reflect on the message that God has given to James, Don and many others, we invite you to share your thoughts and vision for our community.  We will use this  to share our stories and post prayer and ministry opportunities. – Karen Hannon

I’m thrilled to announce that we are finally moving Spotlight Richmond and Operation Community Kindness to a blog platform. By using Web 2.0 strategically, we will be able to share many more of your stories of Kindness with a much larger audience.

We will be updating this blog very quickly during the month of October 2009. We would appreciate your support and encouragement during this process.
