Faith Leaders Gather to Equip, Inspire, and Mobilize Millions of Christian Voters for the 2024 Election
The National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB) recently held its inaugural Faith Summit in Atlanta, gathering over 3,000 pastors and faith leaders from across the United States. The event, spearheaded by senior advisor Jenny Korn and former President Trump’s pastor, Paula White-Cain, aimed to empower and equip faith leaders in mobilizing their congregations ahead of the 2024 election. This landmark gathering of pastors and Christian leaders underscores a growing call within the faith community to address pressing cultural and political issues from a biblical perspective.

Korn, who has served as deputy assistant to President Trump and in two presidential administrations, described the summit as an inspiring experience. “The joy, peace, and faith present in that room were overwhelming,” Korn shared in an interview. She noted that the summit united leaders from diverse backgrounds and denominations who are committed to strengthening the voice of Christians in today’s political climate.
Prominent Pastors In Attendance
During the event, attendees heard from prominent speakers, including Pastors Jensen Franklin and Jack Graham, alongside authors and advocates like Eric Metaxas and Sam Rodriguez. These speakers provided insights into pressing policy matters affecting Christians, including religious freedom, family values, and social justice issues. The summit concluded with a personal interview between President Trump and Pastor Paula White, giving attendees what Korn described as “nuggets” of wisdom from Trump’s personal faith journey and policy priorities.
One of the significant challenges the NFAB addressed is the reported 104 million Americans of faith, including 32 million regular churchgoers, who are projected to sit out the upcoming election. The organization is rallying pastors to encourage voter turnout within their congregations, noting that 5 million Christians are open to voting if encouraged by their pastors. “People of faith are tired of being sidelined. They want a say in shaping policies that impact their churches and communities,” Korn emphasized.
The NFAB has been conducting a 10-state tour to encourage faith leaders, educate them on key policy differences between past and current administrations, and provide resources like voter guides and pastors’ rights documentation. Korn expressed optimism that the numbers of Christian voters will exceed expectations this election, stating that Christians are recognizing the stakes and feeling empowered to make a difference.
Trump Policy Achievements
Under President Trump’s administration, Korn highlighted several policy achievements that strengthened religious freedom, supported Israel, and upheld pro-life values. One notable success was the decision to relocate the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem despite opposition from international leaders—a move that Korn said demonstrated the power of faith-led policy decisions. “We did it because it was the right thing to do, and no wars followed,” Korn said.
As Election Day approaches, the NFAB and its network of pastors aim to keep faith in the public conversation, empowering Christians to vote according to biblical values and make their voices heard on matters critical to the nation’s future.
