The Opportunity:
Working on Capitol Hill can be challenging with a ton of pressure to perform without much encouragement.
The Solution:
Prayers, a worship service, and words of encouragement to strengthen America’s current and future leaders.
Reviving the Spirit of America Through God’s Word
The Word on the Hill is founded with the goal of spreading God’s Word — and proclaiming God’s voice — in the Halls of Congress. The Word on the Hill is a ministry of presence on Capitol Hill where we provide worship services, special events, hand-written notes of encouragement, and much more.
The seeds of The Word on the Hill were sewn nearly a decade ago. Since 2014, Steve Amerson has been providing leadership at the first weekly worship service in the United States Capitol in 144 years. These services are for members of Congress, their staff, and visitors.
What started as a one-time visit to provide hope and encouragement to our nation’s leaders has since blossomed into twice monthly visits to the Hill — and a grassroots initiative that provides weekly worship services, a staff Bible study, encouragement to members of Congress and staff, and special events to build the Christian community in the halls of Congress.
