What does the Worldwide Church of God teach about politics?
Voting and involvement in political activities is a private and personal matter. As Christians, we acknowledge that “our citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20). Yet, even while we belong to the heavenly kingdom, and our allegiance remains there, we still live in this world and should conduct ourselves as responsible citizens. Exercising the right to vote is one way citizens in democratic countries can participate meaningfully in their civic responsibilities (Romans 13:1, 7). The Worldwide Church of God does not engage in politics. We believe Christians should respect the sensitivities, opinions and feelings of one another and therefore should not lobby within the church.
