Day 1

Early in January 2024, our team at Vandersall Collective engaged in conversations around the upcoming presidential election. Initially, each of us noted our discomfort with talking about what might happen in November. Naming our feelings helped us to begin naming what we learned from previous election experiences and ways we could begin to prepare for what was ahead.

As we identified potential plans, our individual and collective values emerged. It became clear what we held in common and the ways we, in our work, want to show up for others. Through this experience, one of us noted the ways this was happening in her faith community. We collectively wondered how we could serve the people and ministries we love by creating a resource to help others have these important conversations.

This prompted us to create a curriculum that you can purchase and download here to adapt for Christian faith communities of many sizes and orientations. Our greatest hope is that this is helpful in organizing a structure to care for your communities and also for communities of people most significantly affected by an election–no matter the outcome.

In fact, this guide hasn’t been written in anticipation of one outcome or another. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the months leading up to it and the months following it will be a tense time that will affect all of our communities.
