The group was founded in San Diego, California in 1978 by Beverly LaHaye, whose husband Timothy LaHaye was an evangelical Christian minister and author of The Battle for the Mind, as well as coauthor of the Left Behind series.
The CWA identifies itself as an amalgam of "policy experts and... activists[s]" with an anti-feminist approach to politics.
