Take a fresh look at Philippians 1:27! Pastor Dale will be highlighting the call of God on Christians to exercise their citizenship consistent with the gospel.
DALE WITHERINGTON - is a passionate follower of Jesus Christ driven to partner with fellow believers for one purpose–to restore righteousness in the State of Minnesota through spiritual and civil transformation based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dale currently serves as a pastor to state legislators. He is the State Director of the Minnesota Prayer Caucus, the Chief Steward of Restore Minnesota and Director of Community Engagement for Minnesota Family Council/Institute.
