Christian Nationalists Are Opening Private Schools.
Taxpayers Are Funding Them.
Trump’s favorite Arizona megachurch has one.
Trump held his first campaign rally as a convicted felon at 🔸Dream City Church 🔸in Phoenix, Arizona,
hosted by the arch-conservative student group 💥Turning Point USA. 💥
This wasn’t Trump’s first appearance at Dream City Church;
he also held a rally there with Turning Point USA in 2020.
For events like this, it’s an ideal venue:
A weekly attendance of around 21,000 believers makes this one of the largestchurches not just in Arizona but in the nation.
Dream City, is a mecca for special guests who blur the line between religion and politics.
Its annual conference has featured notables like musician and pastor Sean #Feucht, who participated in a White House prayer session for President Trump in 2019 and is currently leading a tour of prayer rallies at state capitol buildings across the country.
The lineup for this year’s event also included David #Barton, whose organization,
💥WallBuilders, 💥teaches K-12 students about the supposed Christian origins of America;
Jurgen #Mathesius, a pastor at San Diego’s far-right Awaken Church, which has become a stopon Mike #Flynn’s
💥ReAwaken America 💥tour;
and Jentezen #Franklin, a televangelist who also spoke at the 2022 💥Pray Vote Stand Summit💥, which mobilizes conservative Christian voters to engage in political activism.
