How We Work
The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Reflection from the President
For there is no distinction,
since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
(Romans 3: 22b-23a)
What we say and then, how it is heard and understood, is not in our control.
Prayer for Peace
As we approach the International Day of Peace – 21 September
Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle,

the patience to be understanding,
and the endurance to accept the consequences
