The NACL was originally announced in 2018 and incorporated in 2019 to become the first fully functioning national legislative policy organization led by Christian elected officials at the local, state and federal levels. In fact, historians have stated the NACL is the very first official national association of Christian lawmakers in the history of our country - and we want you to join and be a part of what we are doing.

The organization is dedicated to restoring the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation and addressing major policy issues facing our states and nation from a Biblical worldview. The charter meeting of the NACL was held August 4-5, 2020, in Miramar Beach, Florida with Christian elected officials and supporters from all around the United States who chose to take a stand for God and Country. At that meeting 23 elected officials were installed as state chairs for the NACL. The NACL received official recognition as an IRS approved 501(c)3 organization in 2021. The organization continues to grow and now has current or former elected officials serving as state chairs in 35 states, with members and supporters in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The NACL has 7 committees operating as the NACL-National Legislative Council and have passed 36 model laws to date.

Special Note Spouses Welcome: NACL welcomes spouses of elected officials to be at our event. We know that behind every married lawmaker is a spouse that sacrifices for public service as well.

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.

According to historians, the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) is the first formal national association of Christian elected officials formed in the United States.

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!
