Mitt Romney's campaign is taking great pains to reach out to evangelical church leaders.

CBN's David Brody says Romney's campaign is having weekly meetings with evangelical leaders and working to have Romney attend more faith-based events.

While the Romney campaign is making a serious push to bring evangelical leaders on board, it isn’t so much the leaders that need convincing. Rather, the focus now is on getting the conservative evangelical base motivated. To that end, The Brody File has learned that last week around seventy conservative Christian leaders met in the suburbs of Washington DC to discuss what it would take to get behind Romney. The meeting was off the record but the goal was to figure out ways to get the conservative Christian base mobilized and excited about the GOP presidential nominee. Many at the meeting were those who attended a similar meeting in Texas during the GOP Primary when those same leaders were trying to figure out which Republican candidate to get behind. While no final plan was hatched, there is now more communications going back and forth between this group and the Romney campaign where ideas and concerns are being communicated about how best to mobilize the base. What is clear is that evangelical leaders are mostly on board with Romney but their constituencies are not quite there yet.
