About

The Christian Coalition of America (CCA) is a prominent 501(c)(4) conservative Christian advocacy group in the United States, founded in 1987 by religious broadcaster and former presidential candidate Pat Robertson. It emerged as a powerful force in the religious right, with a mission to mobilize Christian conservative voters and influence public policy in accordance with biblical principles. The organization advocates for issues such as family values, religious liberty, and opposition to progressive social policies. Its membership is interdenominational, drawing significantly from Baptists, mainline Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Pentecostals, among other Christian denominations. Under the leadership of figures like Pat Robertson (founder, 1987-1999) and former Executive Director Ralph Reed (1989-1997), the CCA gained considerable influence in the 1990s, notably through its extensive distribution of voter guides and grassroots activism. However, following the departures of Robertson and Reed, the organization experienced a decline in national prominence and faced internal financial difficulties and leadership transitions, with Roberta Combs becoming President in 1999, a position she continues to hold. The CCA has been subject to scrutiny and controversy throughout its history, including an FEC investigation in 1996. The organization has consistently been criticized for its overtly partisan activities, primarily supporting Republican candidates and conservative causes. As a 501(c)(4) organization, it is not required to disclose its donors, leading to ongoing criticism from transparency advocates. Its core ideology is strongly conservative, advocating for policies such as abortion opposition, religious freedom, traditional family values, school prayer, and conservative judicial appointments. The Christian Coalition of America maintains an online presence via its website christiancoalition.com, and social media channels including Twitter/X (@CCofAmerica), Facebook (Christian Coalition of America), YouTube (Christian Coalition of America), and LinkedIn (Christian Coalition of America). Its headquarters are located at 901 D St SW, Washington, DC 20024-2103, and a public phone number associated with the organization is 202-479-6700.

Guy Rodgers served as the Field Director for the Christian Coalition of America from the 1990s until approximately the early 2000s (around 2000), receiving compensation for his role. He played a key role in grassroots mobilization, advocacy campaigns, and voter outreach efforts for the organization, overseeing these efforts under the national umbrella of the Christian Coalition. The organization, a major force in conservative politics aligned with Christian conservative values, operates as a centralized entity with state chapters and affiliated groups, though it is not a direct subsidiary of any single entity. This work shaped his later activism.
