America250 Director Previews Event Celebrating ‘God’s Hand in America’

Brittany Baldwin, executive director of the White House Task Force 250, previewed an upcoming event designed to tell the story “of God’s hand in America throughout 250 years, and to rededicate our nation as one nation under God.”

Rededicate250, scheduled for May 17, will feature speeches from politicians and faith leaders reflecting on God’s faithfulness throughout American history. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R‑La., will lead the rededication.

“It is a powerful statement that the Trump administration celebrates our Judeo‑Christian roots and the fact that that has enabled our society to flourish in a plethora of ways, including respecting religious liberty of Americans of all religions,” Baldwin said.

The event will include video messages from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as a talk from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on George Washington as a leader and man of God.

Asked what viewers can expect from Trump’s video, Baldwin said he will likely discuss the role religion has played throughout the country’s history and the importance of Americans of faith continuing to strengthen the nation.

“I think he’ll most likely talk about how religion has always played an important role in our country, and how we need Americans of faith to continue to strengthen and sustain our country, and that under his leadership they’re no longer being persecuted, but instead are being embraced and strengthened,” she said.

The event will also feature musical performances by various choirs and individual artists. Participating college choirs include Hillsdale College, Liberty University, and Grand Canyon University.

Rededicate250 will recount God’s hand in American history while acknowledging “the miracle still in our midst,” Baldwin said.

“You’ll have a couple people testify to personal testimonies of God still working,” she said. “And then the final section will be a new birth of faith and freedom.”

The event will conclude with a worship concert by Christian artist Chris Tomlin.

Americans will be able to participate both in person and virtually.

“First, they can attend the event, and we would welcome their attendance,” Baldwin said. “If they’re not able to attend in person for whatever reason, they can join through their own church or faith community.”
