Center for Christian Virtue

Center for Christian Virtue (CCV), formerly Citizens for Community Values, is a Christian public-policy nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1983 by Dr. Jerry Kirk and other pastors and lay leaders in Cincinnati, it equips and mobilizes Christians to engage in public policy, seeking the good of its neighbors by advocating for legislation that reflects the truth of the Gospel—defending religious freedom, family, and life—and building grassroots support in Ohio and statehouses nationwide.
