During the five and a half years that Duane served on the pastoral staff, he organized and directed North Star Bible Institute and served as business manager.

A religious freedoms court case, between First Bible Baptist Church and the state of New York, revealed the need for Christians to have a lobbyist before State government. Responding to the need, In the Spring of 1982, Duane started NYCF to make certain that there was a "Christian Voice in Albany".  In 1990 he founded New Yorker’s Family Research Foundation (NYFRF) to educate Christians on legislation before state and federal government pertaining to religious freedoms, moral values and family issues.
