In 2021, evangelical pastor Steve Berger launched a project aimed at influencing U.S. Congress members by ministering to them. His base is a $3.7 million townhouse near the Capitol, where House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly been residing. Berger has cultivated relationships with influential conservative politicians and has previously housed Dan Bishop, another political figure. This raises significant questions around the role of religious leaders in shaping political agendas and the implications for church-state separation, as noted in previous articles on related themes in other states.
His stated goal: minister to members of Congress so that what "they learn is then translated into policy."
