White House Faith Office

The White House Faith Office was established during the second presidency of Donald Trump as a White House agency to "assist faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship in their efforts to strengthen American families, promote work and self-sufficiency, and protect religious liberty". U.S. president Donald Trump appointed Paula White to lead the office in February 2025.

The office replaces the former White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI), and will be part of the Domestic Policy Council. The earlier OFBCI was created during the presidential administration of George W. Bush, and continued operation under the administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. During Trump's first presidential term, the office remained vacant for years; he eventually launched a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative in 2018, and appointed televangelist and prosperity theology proponent Paula White as its lead in late 2019.
