40 pastors and religious leaders endorse David Hill for Congress

40 Faith Leaders Announce Support for David Hill

OKLAHOMA CITY — A growing list of faith leaders announced their support for conservative Republican David Hill in his race for Congress. Already numbering 40, these faith leaders span the entire district.

"We are excited to have a candidate of the quality of David Hill in the race," stated Paul Abner, an Oklahoma minister for 40 years, who helped organize the group. "Far too often the faith community is either ignored or taken for granted in politics. David Hill has taken the time to visit with us and knows how important faith issues like the right-to-life and religious liberty are to those he intends to represent," Abner continued.

"David Hill has a deep understanding of the importance of both faith and the faith community," stated Dr. Ted Kersh, one of the pastors on the list. "David’s personal faith and the value he places upon issues important to us is evident from the first moment you visit with him," Kersh continued.

Steve Green, President of Hobby Lobby and Board Chairman for Museum of the Bible is among those listed. Green also serves as a co-chair for the Hill campaign.


"I am excited to have this grassroots support," stated candidate David Hill. "Faith and family have always been paramount to me. Kendra Horn can have her Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support, but I prefer the endorsements of these folks who serve so many families in Oklahoma’s 5th District," Hill stated.

"We encourage ministers, pastors, and other faith leaders to join us in supporting a champion for us, David Hill," Abner concluded. "You can view the growing list of faith leaders and even join our coalition on the website."

David Hill is a devout Christian who, along with his wife Shannon, co-founded Providence Hall Classical Christian School, which is now The Academy of Classical Christian Studies. Married for 26 years, they have six children. In addition to serving as the CEO of Mar-K manufacturing, the nation’s leader in manufacturing parts for classic cars, Hill also developed the successful iPray app for smartphones.
