At CCV, Ohio is our proving ground, but America is our mission.

We build, test and win state-level battles right here at home. Then, we scale what works, exporting our successful models and deploying resources to empower state-based allies across the country. We don't just hope for national transformation; we are actively engineering it from the states up.

Winning in Ohio, equipping the nation

Transforming the nation through the states.

Founded in 1983, CCV is a Christian public-policy organization and Ohio’s official Family Policy Council. For four decades we’ve worked for public policy that reflects the truth of the Gospel, building what works in Ohio, then scaling it to statehouses across the country.
