Meet Phil Rizzo

Phil believes his story of beating the odds and coming back stronger can be New Jersey’s too. As a kid growing up in Morris County, Phil lost his right arm at the elbow when a lally column in the basement fell, severely crushing the artery. For an energetic child with a love for sports, this was devastating.

But Phil refused to be held back. He went on to play baseball, soccer, and finally High School football, where he was a star on both offense and defense. He received national recognition in 1995, when he earned a scholarship from the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago. Those physical achievements did not just come naturally. Only those closest to him knew of the commitment, hours of training, and uncommon drive required to succeed.

The turning point in his life was coming to faith in 2000. As a man of faith, Phil had a new perspective on life and fresh compassion for the community around him. In 2012, he became a pastor, planting City Baptist Church in Hoboken. In 2013, he co-founded a Christian school where he served as school administrator, providing an academically rigorous, value-driven education for kids in his community. He left that position in 2019 to plant a second church in North Bergen. Through a church networking conference he started back in December 2013, he oversaw $1 million raised to start new churches in the Northeast corridor. The government overreach and political unrest of 2020 drove him to run for Governor of New Jersey. After less than five months, he finished as a runner up in the GOP Primary and sparked a statewide movement to take back New Jersey that is still growing today.

Today, Phil is committed to seeing churches across the state of New Jersey join him in the fight for religious freedoms. His mission is to rally people of faith together from across the state to stand up for what is right. Will you join the movement as we bring change to the Garden State?
