In April of 1982, a small group of pastors were concerned about religious liberties and moral values in New York State. Responding to this concern, these Empire State pastors founded New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, Ltd. (NYCF).

NYCF is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

NYCF is a statewide, issues-oriented, political lobbying organization committed to voicing the moral and religious perspective to New York state legislators. NYCF:

• Monitors legislation
• Influences the legislative process
• Proposes positive legislation
• Opposes negative legislation
  
• Publishes voting records
• Designs candidate questionnaires
• Provides full-time lobbyists to represent the pro-family, pro-life perspective

NYCF also ministers to our State Representatives, staff members, and other lobbyists through weekly legislative prayer breakfasts and Bible studies, encouragement, and personal witness.

This ministry exists to influence legislation and legislators for the Lord Jesus Christ.
