In God We Trust is the 5th release, and 4th full-length album by Christian Metal band Stryper, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music). After the hard-rocking To Hell with the Devil, Stryper decided to follow up with an album that was more pop-leaning and radio-friendly, and as a result, many critics and fans considered the album overproduced and too commercial. Despite the lukewarm reception, In God We Trust nevertheless achieved Gold record status, selling over half a million copies.

Bassist Tim Gaines did not participate in the recording of this album, but he rejoined the band on the In God We Trust tour.
