= Christian Party (United States) = The Christian Party of America is a national political party in the United States. The party was founded in 2009 by self-described "Christian Constitutionalist patriots" disillusioned with the state of existing American political parties. The party platform is, much like that of the Constitution Party, predicated on an originalist interpretation of the Constitution, and is primarily libertarian with a focus on Biblical and free market principles.

There are 12 stated principles which comprise the party's stances and platform, many of which are derived from fundamentalist interpretations of America's founding documents, with an emphasis on limited government and the rule of law.

As of July 2019, the Christian party does not hold any significant offices at the city, state, or federal level. The party has members in ten states, and two affiliates: North Carolina and Texas.
