PURPOSE In 1776, the founding fathers of our nation made four specific references to God in the Declaration of Independence, referring to Him as Nature’s God, our Creator, the Supreme Judge of the World, and Divine Providence. They understood that God has given every person natural rights that no man created and no man can take away. Our nation is forgetting this fundamental principle and it is time that we take action before it is too late.In Proverbs 29:2 the scripture declares, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Our nation has been experiencing spiritual decline for decades and we now are dealing with social unrest and political division at levels not seen since the Civil War in the 1860s. We believe that the answer to these challenges can be found by uniting Christian believers together with Christian elected officials who are dedicated to restoring the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation and serving in elected offices at every level around the nation.

Rep. Tom Oliverson (TX) was elected to serve as the first Chairman of the NACL-National Legislative Council in 2020. This picture shows our Founder &amp; President Sen. Jason Rapert (AR) delivering Chairman Oliverson the gavel as he assumed his leadership position and conducted the first meeting of the Executive Committee.

The National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) is host to the first functioning National Legislative Council that is led by Christian lawmakers from the local, state and federal levels.Based on discussion and debate, Christian lawmakers through the NACL formulate model statutes, ordinances and resolutions based upon a Biblical worldview for introduction in cities, counties, states, and at the federal level in Congress. No other organization has done this or is currently doing this in our country today.The goal is for lawmakers to come together in support of clear Biblical principles so that our nation lives up to its national motto “In God We Trust.” In Psalm 33:12 of the Holy Bible the message is clear, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." We have been suffering in this nation because ungodly leaders are in many positions of authority and their actions result in ungodly laws, decisions and judgments. The Bible is very clear on several issues including the protection of all life and the fact that God created man and woman for companionship and marriage. The Bible also is clear that God's plan for humanity was for those who believe in Him to take authority over everything in the earth, Genesis 1:26-28. Christians are being forced out of the public square and chastised for speaking up on issues in the private and public realm. The early signs of Christian persecution are already present in our culture today and we must stop this now. It is time to take action and we are recruiting solid leaders who are willing to take a stand. Come join us and take your place to stand in the gap for the future of America and be a part of saving our nation!

This picture was taken at the conclusion of the very first NALC-NLC Executive Committee Meeting conducted at the Charter Meeting in 2020. It includes NALC state chairs, national advisory board members and governing board members that were physically present for the meeting. Due to the Covid19 Pandemic other NACL leaders joined remotely.
