As celebrations marking America’s 250th birthday begin across the country, the National Mall became the backdrop for a day of Christian worship, prayer, and patriotic celebration.
Hosted by the Museum of the Bible as part of the Great American State Fair, Wednesday’s “Faith, Values and Inspiration Day” featured Christian worship, speakers and family-friendly activities celebrating the Bible’s influence on America’s founding and its continued impact today.
“We feel like family and values and inspiration is what we’re all about, particularly inspiration,” said Dr. Carlos Campo, president and CEO of Museum of the Bible. “We’re trying to make this connection between the Bible and our nation’s founding, and what better place to do it than right here on the National Mall?”

Presented in partnership with K-LOVE and Great American Pure Flix, the event featured some of Christian music’s biggest names, including Jordan Feliz, Matthew West, Blanca, and Maverick City.
“For me, to be able to stand on a stage and tell people about Jesus, expand the Kingdom of God while celebrating this huge milestone is just peak,” Feliz said.
West called the opportunity to worship openly in the nation’s capital a reminder not to take religious liberty for granted.
“I’ve been telling people about Jesus one three-minute song at a time my whole career,” he said. “Now I get to do that here in our nation’s capital lifting up the name of Jesus. These are the freedoms that we don’t want to take for granted. The fact that we can worship our King here on the Mall is just really special.”
Families traveled from across the country to take part in the Great American State Fair, which runs until July 10th.
