Capitol Commission President Endorses Dale Glading & Announces Matching Gift Challenge

November 12, 2026

Dear Florida Capitol Commission Partners:

I am so excited about God’s call of Rev. Dale Glading to the Florida Capitol to serve as Capitol Commission’s Florida State Minister, and you should be too!

God is gifting Florida with an exceptional man of God! That is why I am asking you to offer Dale your prayer and financial support. This is an important time for Dale to enter the Capitol to begin rapport building and ministry to leaders. There are very few ministers consistently present there.

If you are new to Capitol Commission, you should know that we are trusted across this country in legislative circles. Our focus is on the people who serve. We want nothing from them but seek to minister to them. We are a non-political ministry that seeks to bring gospel hope and spiritual strength to government leaders and their staff in your capitol. We build trust relationships with legislators and staffers, and minister as God opens the door. Capitol Commission State Ministers currently serve in twenty-nine states and three nations. We tactfully minister in the name of Jesus.

God has gifted Dale in incredible ways. He is an author of three books, a pastor and church planter, and ministry builder. He has - from nothing, built up a very successful ministry, Risk Takers for Christ, which focuses on reaching “at-risk youth” through the vehicle of sports. He has also served in prison ministry for thirty-nine years. Dale currently pastors Midway Bible Fellowship in Vero Beach, Florida.

Early on, God placed an interest in politics and political leadership in Dale’s heart. Dale sees this step of serving as State Minister as a culmination of the desire that God laid on his heart decades ago while using the ministry wisdom that God has since taught him.

Dale and his wife Deanna have been married for forty-one years. They have three grown children and six precious grandchildren. Dale’s personal references speak of his being an overachiever who is well-liked, balanced, relational and wise in his ministry.

Dale is stepping out in faith by moving to Tallahassee during the legislative session with his wife. That step of faith reveals a heart focused on the ministry. We are standing behind Dale with a $5,000 matching gift challenge for new supporters and ask you to partner with him in this launch!

Your monthly support of $50, $100, or whatever you would commit for the next few years is critical to seeing God sow seeds of righteousness right where your laws are being written. Of course, some of you may want to give a generous one-time gift to jump start the work going into 2027.

I could not be more excited for the Florida legislators and staff. A great new beginning guided by the Spirit of the Lord is happening. Let’s partner together and watch God work!

For His Glory,

Dr. Brad Harbaugh
