Our Mission
The mission of ARPA Canada is to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians to political action and to bring a biblical perspective to our civil authorities. ARPA Canada exists because we care. We care about our nation, our communities, our families, and our freedoms. Most of all, we care about what God says is good and right. Jesus Christ told us that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and to “Love your neighbour as yourself.” How do we show love? By living our lives in devotion to Him.

ARPACanada shared ARPA Fraser Valley East's post.
ARPA FVE put together these municipal voting guides for Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Take a look at the links included in the post below. If you're not from Abbotsford or Chilliwack, these could easily be replicated in municipal, provincial or federal elections across the country! Ask us for more details if you're interested in doing so.
The much awaited moment is here! We are pleased to present our final municipal voting guides for Abbotsford and Chilliwack. We were thrilled that 52 of the 73 candidates (71%) responded to our questionnaire and their answers are presented in the attached documents. Both Abbotsford and Chilliwack have two voting guides. The short form guide contains a quick summary of candidates' responses and is a great little cheat sheet of the candidates' platforms. However, we encourage everyone to take a look at the longer form guide as it contains the full, unedited responses of each candidate; these provide much fuller answers and the rationale behind policy decisions. These voting guides are meant as a basic guide to the municipal candidates. We encourage everyone to do additional personal research to know more. This voting guide (and ARPA in general) does not endorse particular candidates; we are simply helping everyone do some of the time consuming work of comparing candidates. We hope that this guide is helpful and that everyone can make it out to vote in the municipal elections on October 20th! The Abbotsford short form is the first link, Abbotsford long form second, Chilliwack short form third and Chilliwack long form fourth drive.google.com/file/d/1K0imChp3pzrNZ3cCSGkJAe_XMXZzwTSE/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1FzFZ9LLR1h45msXgzLMnUMgw4hfza0NZ/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1LEns-WQE7gPAXupC_HYT8GLDi7fZT5QP/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1cprJ6EUt0hOmtlQkePjiLqnMIRnZF_G9/view?usp=sharing

Canadian governance: is optimism a thing? - ARPA Canada

by Daniel Zekveld As a young Christian interested in politics, I have heard questions such as, “Can Christians really be effective in politics today?” or “How much influence can you really have?” Other Christians will comment to the effect that politics is a hard task, and that it is difficu...
