About the Texas Values Church Ambassador Network of Texas (TXCAN)
The Texas Values Church Ambassador Network of Texas (TXCAN) is made up of pastors from across the Lone Star State who hold to the Scriptural teaching that government is an institution ordained by God, with the purpose of punishing evil and rewarding good, and that those who serve in government are God’s ministers. Understanding that government is distinct from the church, and has its own unique responsibility, we believe government needs moral guidance and counsel from the church to fulfill its purpose to punish evil and reward good.
Government needs the direction that the church provides through its head, Christ, and the Word of God. By building personal relationships with God’s shepherds in government, the pastors of the Church Ambassador Network of Texas will offer encouragement, prayer, and insight from the Scripture to the glory of God, the edification of those in government, and the benefit of our great state.
TXCAN Mission
Our mission is to build a relationship between the shepherds of God’s Church and God’s government as portrayed in the Scriptures. It is a relationship between institutions, not just individual local churches. Throughout history, the shepherds of God’s institution of the church have served as a moral compass and guide to the nations. It is our goal to have pastors and congregations engage government in a way that honors God and is effective under all forms of government, regardless of when and where.
