Rev Jennifer Mills-Knutsen, senior minister at American International Church, has been speaking as millions of Americans are heading to the polls to elect their 45th president, after a final campaign push from the candidates overnight.
She told Premier's News Hour whatever the result the nation will need to reconcile.
Rev Jennifer Mills-Knutsen said: "My great hope is that we Christians who disagree can model for the nation how to come together around those disagreements and across those disagreements and point to how we can continue to be in Christian fellowship even when we disagree with one another."
Tens of millions of voters across the United States will now decide on the next occupant of the White House.
Hillary Clinton, the Democrat nominee, aims to become the first female president in US history, while Republican tycoon Donald Trump hopes his pledge to "Make America Great Again."
Rev Jennifer Mills-Knutsen said that Christian are unsure where to place their vote: "I think the candidates and Christians themselves are divided on our responsibilities on abortion and same-sex marriage, our relationship with foreign nations, views on race and gender - and Christians are coming down on multiple sides."
Other candidates running for the presidency include Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, the Green Party's Jill Stein and conservative independent Evan McMullin.
Barack Obama will remain in the White House until January 20 when the election winner will take the oath of office and become the 45th president of the United States.
