About the National Coalition for the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families Mission: To move the people of God to embrace, live out, preserve and advance the biblical truth of sexuality.Goals:Operating under the prompting of the Holy Spirit and desiring all people to live under the Lordship of Christ, we seek to: Educate the Christian community on sexual ethics according to a biblical worldview. Encourage and challenge Christians to live sexually pure lives. Engage Christians in public policy relative to sexual ethics.  Embrace those harmed by pornography and help restore them to sexual wholeness. The sexualized messages of our culture continue to undermine biblical morality and destroy lives. To counteract these forces, the National Coalition has created six targeted programs: Church Outreach Through our Church Outreach program, we work to engage Christians in the cultural battle by educating and equipping them with the Christian apologetic for chaste and moral relationships. By equipping Christians with a more comprehensive understanding of the relevant cultural issues we hope to invigorate them to become active in applying their faith in matters of public policy and moral debate related to sexual ethics. Legal and Public Policy The work of the National Coalition culminates in its ability to effectuate reasoned debate and change in these areas. To that end, the National Coalition employs a three-pronged strategy: Assimilation – the gathering of information and coordinating of efforts to address critical issues on the local, state and national level; Education – ensuring that citizens know and understand the issues and arguments before they engage; and Activism – mobilizing grassroots campaigns as well as expert abilities on various fronts. Victim Assistance People whose lives have been harmed by pornography are offered a Toll-Free HelpLine (1-800-583-2964) that connects callers with a live therapist. Services include assessment of the caller’s needs, printed resources, counseling referrals in the caller’s community and multi-session brief therapy. In addition, the Victim Assistance Program offers consultation to other professional organizations, clinicians and pastors regarding sexual compulsivity and abuse. Referral Network: Counselor Letter | Counselor Questionnaire Strategic Partnerships The Strategic Partnerships Program seeks to promote cooperative relationships between the National Coalition and like-minded organizations. This cooperative synergy allows the Coalition as a servant ministry to enhance its ability to reach additional outlets while expanding its audience. The National Coalition links arms with the faith community through the Religious Alliance Against Pornography, whose members include senior representatives from a variety of major religious groups. Advanced Technology Although the Internet still poses a great threat in distributing pornographic material, wireless handheld devices are the newest medium that facilitates the distribution of digital video content capable of transmitting sexually explicit material. The technology itself is not dangerous.  In fact, the National Coalition embraces this new technology; however, the danger lies in the lack of regulations and safeguards in place to protect children and teens from being exposed to unwanted, explicit pornographic content that is downloadable by these wireless handheld devices. Cultural Apologetics Cultural Apologetics has grown into a multi-faceted initiative of the National Coalition.  Through Cultural Apologetics, the National Coalition addresses relevant social and moral issues for the purpose of equipping Christians with an intelligent defense of biblical truth in the matters of moral and ethical conflict in today's culture.  The growth and influence of Cultural Apologetics continues to distinguish the National Coalition as a relevant thought leader in the cultural battle.
