Traditional Values Coalition is the largest non-denominational, grassroots church lobby in America. Sheldon, Chairman, TVC has sought to empower people of faith through knowledge. TVC speaks on behalf of over 43,000 churches bridging racial and socio-economic barriers and includes most Christian denominations. Churches across the United States and throughout Puerto Rico find a valuable resource in
TVC. With an emphasis on the restoration of the values needed to maintain strong, unified families, Traditional Values Coalition, focuses on such issues as religious liberties, marriage, the right to life, the homosexual agenda, pornography, family tax relief and education. While Traditional Values Coalition is a lobbying organization, its sister organization, Traditional Values Coalition Education & Legal Institute, is a foundation dedicated to educating and supporting churches in their efforts to restore America’s cultural heritage. Pastors and their churches are not barred by law from being involved in the making of public policy. Traditional Values Coalition provides a multitude of information for Christians and pastors, to equip them with the information they need to be educated on issues and on the representative form of government. Sheldon and Andrea Lafferty, Executive Director, know what is at stake for America and they work hard to defend what is morally right. They bring a wealth of information to America’s churches and are a voice of reason in the media. Sheldon served for 25 years as an ordained minister prior to founding TVC. Andrea, who served in both the Reagan and Bush Administrations, directs the day-to-day lobbying in Washington. They work regularly with members of the House and Senate and their staffs on a variety of pro-family issues of concern to churches and the grassroots.
