Turning Point USA
Turning Point USA Faith is a place to Engage, Equip, and Empower students and parents.
In a society increasingly drifting away from Biblical values, the American Church faces a critical moment. Scripture warns us in Isaiah 5:20 ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.’ It’s the time for the church to rise in its commitment to the gospel and the unchanging truths of the Bible. Anything less is a capitulation to a culture that is at odds with the Kingdom of God.
This is why TPUSA Faith is committed to bridging the gap between faith and action. They firmly believe that when the Church stands boldly for the gospel and for Godly values, our nation will experience God-breathed transformation.
TPUSA Faith Exists to:
Engage They call pastors and believers to engage in civic, social, and cultural dialogues without compromising Biblical truth. TPUSA Faith is a sanctuary for those unwilling to bow to the cultural or ideological mods.
Equip They provide Christians with resources that uphold their God-given constitutional rights, all founded on the unchanging Word of God. This is not just education, it’s equipping believers for a spiritual battle.
Empower Through TPUSA faith groups and courses such as “Biblical Citizenship” and “Faith in the Public Square” they empower congregations to stand firm in their faith and values. ‘We are not just a voice; we are an active hand helping the church reclaim its role as central to society, not peripheral’
Above all, they believe Jesus is King and are to occupy until he comes. They are uncompromising in their commitment to empower the church to live out its role to be salt and light to a nation in desperate need of truth.
TPUSA Faith is geared for High School and Parents but all students are welcome. TPUSA Faith usually meets on Friday once a month (check the calendar for dates and times)
Student Eagle
Tennessee Student Eagle is an organization sponsored by Tennessee Eagle Forum composed of like-minded teenage students who share conservative interests. This program trains students ages 12 and up to be knowledgeable, independent thinkers to face the current social and political environment. Student Eagle meets monthly with Frances Arthur, the TN Student Eagle Director, to discuss an issue or current event. The students determine which topics to discuss in advance. Our students also track one piece of legislation through the committee process each session. They are also taught how to lobby the bill through emails, phone calls, and visits with legislators.
During the General Assembly session, our teens have the opportunity to shadow state legislators for a day at the TN State Capitol. They attend committee meetings, hear from the constituents, and may even get to hear debates on the House and Senate floors.
Frances has taught high school, middle school, and elementary school in public, homeschool, and homeschool cooperative settings over the last 30 years. As a lifelong learner, she has developed a skill set that allows her to effectively teach government, politics, economics, and American and world history. She frequently serves as a judge for local speech and debate tournaments. Involved with so many worthy endeavors, Frances says that her favorite volunteer work is serving with Tennessee Eagle Forum as the Student Eagle Director, teaching high school students across the state how to participate in their government effectively. Frances has served in this role since 2011.
*Donation to help cover travel costs for Frances is appreciated.
