“This is a defining moment for our nation and the community of faith must rise to the occasion. We are called to be both salt and light in a world that desperately needs truth,” said NFAB President Paula White-Cain. “As pastors and leaders, we have a responsibility to lead our congregations by standing up for biblical values ​​and ensuring that our voices are heard at the ballot box.”

After the event, Trump will travel to Atlanta for a rally at McCamish Pavilion on the Georgia Tech campus.
