Governor Mike DeWine has signed the CCV-backed House Bill 8! The bill will now take effect as Ohio law in 90 days. 

HB8 contains two measures to promote parental rights and the safety of children:

1. The Parents' Bill of Rights protects the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding their child’s upbringing, care, and education, and

2. HB8 also protects students' right to receive religious education during the school day through religious released time.

The Minnery Fellowship for Cultural Engagement is an ongoing Continuing Cultural Education program to help pastors and church leaders understand the times and know how to respond.

The Minnery Fellowship is named for author, former Vice President of Focus on the Family, and former Chairman of the Board of Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) Tom Minnery. Throughout Tom’s career, he endeavored to encourage Christians to be salt and light in culture and “not be silent” on the most crucial issues facing our churches and families.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has signed Amended Senate Bill 104 (SB104) into law, also known as the "Bathroom Bill" or the "Protect All Students Act," which ensures students in K-12 schools and universities have single-sex bathrooms, locker rooms, and more.

“A heavy hitter in Ohio's culture wars” (The Columbus Dispatch, 2021), Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) is Ohio’s largest Christian public policy organization.
