Welcome

Welcome to the National Clergy Council website. We’re grateful for your interest in this ever-expanding ministry to our nation’s top elected and appointed officials. The mission of the National Clergy Council is to introduce classical Christian moral instruction into the conversation and debate surrounding public policy. We are not a lobby group, nor are we litigators. As Christian ministers of every tradition—Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox and Protestant—we are evangelists, proclaiming eternal truths to those in power and influence.
As classical Christians we base our positions on the paramount moral issues of the day squarely upon Holy Scripture and the historic teaching of the Christian churches. Our core principles surround the Sanctity of Life, the Sanctity of Marriage and the Family and the Public Acknowledgment of God.
We welcome you to join with us! Please explore the many pages of this site to learn more about our philosophy of ministry, our fellowship, collaborative work and witness. You may apply for membership right at this site.
Your servant for the sake of the Gospel,
Rev. Rob Schenck
