Steve Lefemine, director of a Christian Pro-Life, Pro-Chastity Ministry has served as a pro-life missionary since 1991, and has been involved in pro-life activism full-time since 1989. He presently directs Columbia Christians for Life, which brings a Christian pro-chastity and pro-life presence to the streets outside abortion centers and government high schools and USC, as well as to legislative activities at the South Carolina State House, and both state and federal elections.

Raised on Long Island, New York, he is a 1977 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY with a B.S. in General Engineering. Having graduated from the Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Georgia while a cadet at West Point, he was awarded the Army Parachutist Badge. He began active duty service as a field artillery officer with the US Army in 1977, and successfully completed the Field Artillery (FA) Officers Basic Course, and the FA Cannon Battery Course, as well as the Motor Officer Course. He served with the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and with a Training and Doctrine Command unit at Ft. Hood, Texas. Lefemine served on active duty with the US Army until 1982, during which time he was awarded two Army Commendation medals. He left active duty with the rank of Captain in 1982, and resigned from the Individual Ready Reserve as a Major in 1993.

Employed by Michelin Tire Corporation in 1982, he served as an industrial engineer in the semi-finished products plant in Anderson, SC until 1988. Following employment at Michelin, he served on the campaign staff of a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Additional achievements include certification as a Private Pilot, and graduate of the US Army’s Infantry Officer Advanced Course while a Reservist.

He is 50 years old, has never been married, and presently lives in Cayce, SC.

Steve has been active politically with both the Republican Party (formerly) and the Constitution Party (formerly). He has been seated as a delegate to the state GOP convention. Later, he was the Lexington County member of the state executive committee for the Constitution Party of SC. He also served as a member of the Constitution Party’s National Committee. Steve Lefemine was the Constitution Party candidate for South Carolina State Senate District #26 in November 2000; for the U.S. House of Representatives special election for District #2 on December 18, 2001; for the U.S. House of Representatives District #5 in November 2002; and for the U.S. House of Representatives District # 2 in November 2004. As of the end of December 2004, he has separated from the Constitution Party because of their compromise on the Sanctity of Life plank of the CP national platform, as well as their unbiblical ecumenical practices, and unbiblical violation of God’s created order vis-à-vis the roles of men and women. Lefemine is currently an Independent considering the possibility of running for the U.S. House of Representatives District # 2 as a write-in candidate in the November 7, 2006 election.
