CWA celebrates "Faith Month" each April by flying our Christian flag.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (ESV).
“We celebrate Faith Month because we are not ashamed of the Gospel and its monumental impact on our nation and the world. Stand boldly with us as we raise the Christian flag and affirm our heritage as one nation, under God.” -Penny Nance, CEO and President
Why We Celebrate Faith Month
Born in response to Pride Month celebrations, CWA spearheaded the Faith Month initiative beginning in 2022 with the partnership of Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi) and Rep. Mary Miller (R-Illinois 15th). Every year, believers from all over America come together during the month of April in prayer, worship, and action.
We invite you to join us during Faith Month, beginning April 1. Participate by committing to give $15 a month for the next three months. As our thank you to you, you will receive:
- A handheld Christian flag to display in your home, work, or community
- An American flag and Christian flag pin to wear with confidence
- Our Religious Freedom training resource to equip you, your family, or your small group
While the world celebrates sin and uplifts those who promote pride and selfishness, Christians have a higher calling. We are called to let our light shine before others—to show off our faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:31, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord” (ESV).
Let’s shine the light of Christ together!
Religious Freedom is a right given to us by God and enshrined for all U.S. citizens in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As a Christian and a U.S. citizen, you have the right to celebrate your faith at work without fear of discipline or discrimination. This does not mean that you can violate company policy to go around your workplace proselytizing, but it does mean that the Christian Flag is welcome on your desk and on your lapel, in accordance with company policy, as other personal items are allowed. In September 2025, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memorandum to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding religious liberty protections for federal employees. While this DOJ memo was drafted specifically for federal employees, the U.S. Supreme Court case Groff v. DeJoy (2023) allows a broader application.

Faith Month in the U.S. Congress

Faith Month Initiative Launched in the Nation’s Capital in 2022
Sen. Hyde-Smith and Rep. Miller Submitted Proclamation into the Record
Gov. Stitt Proclaims April 2026 as Faith Month in Oklahoma!
We are thrilled to announce that Gov. Kevin Stitt has officially signed a proclamation declaring April 2026 as Faith Month across the great State of Oklahoma!
This is a tremendous victory for faith, religious liberty, and the values that make Oklahoma strong. For the first time, our state is formally recognizing the vital role that faith—particularly our rich Judeo-Christian heritage—has played in shaping our moral, cultural, and civic foundation since our nation’s founding.
The proclamation highlights the importance of religious liberty, acknowledges the significance of April, with the seasons of Easter and Passover, and recognizes the powerful witness of Oklahomans who live out their faith daily through churches, charities, families, and public service. Additionally, it affirms the important work of Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Oklahoma in championing April as “Faith Month” since 2022.
