These gatherings include:
- "For Hill Aides Only," an in-person gathering every Monday at noon on Capitol Hill
- HillFaith Study Series posted on the HillFaith website
- HillFaith at Area Churches, in-person courses offered at churches throughout the Washington, D.C./Baltimore region
- HillFaith Outside The Beltway (OTB) webinars through Zoom and RightNow Media
All four approaches explore the abundant, fascinating, and challenging evidence for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the life-changing results of being one of His followers.
In an always relaxed and informal atmosphere, you can join in the discussion to pose questions and get answers that make sense and that are based on credible evidence. These gatherings are designed specifically for hill aides, who are working in a high-pressure and fast-paced environment. The goal is to provide a safe space for these individuals to explore their faith and engage in meaningful discussions. These gatherings are open to all hill aides, regardless of political affiliation or religious background.
Led by HillFaith founder and Editor (and Hill staff veteran) Mark Tapscott, our apologetics in-person studies, HillFaith website series, and webinars address difficult issues related to our case for Christ and help participants understand Christianity, the living relationship with the resurrected Jesus Christ, and the amazing evidence from history, archeology, logic, science, and philosophy on a deeper level. We aren’t afraid of emotional topics or complex issues — we welcome and encourage them. Learn more about our four approaches and how to participate and how to participate below.

And remember:
HillFaith is dedicated to serving congressional aides, Capitol Hill’s most hard-working group of people, and those outside of the nation's capital who care about what happens on the Hill and want to see the Gospel shared widely there.
With HillFaith, everyone is welcome, including those who aren’t believers. Whether you have a painful past with Christianity or you’ve never explored it before, you’ll find intellectual challenges, great values, and a healthy camaraderie in our studies! Jump in when you want and leave when you need to — no problem. We encourage a healthy start to religion for atheists. Our discussion topics include learning about the Christian faith, learning how we can support one another to live Christian values, what our founding fathers had in mind for the relationship between religion and politics, applying a Jesusfree to our relationships with others, etc., whatever people like or need.
Specializing in powerful arguments for the truth of Christianity from secular scientific discoveries and popular culture, the HillFaith team focuses on helping Congress staffers develop their faith and live it out in the demanding and challenging environment that is Capitol Hill. But we are not exclusively limited to just congressional aides. We are here to offer everybody an opportunity to solve the most difficult questions of life and justify Christianity!
With HillFaith, every question, every doubt, and every confusion is met with compassion, knowledge, and generosity. So, why not join our next seminar and discover our case for Christ and apologetics?
