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.

An update from the National Office for Child Safety

The National Office for Child Safety has developed resources that aim to protect children and young people from sexual abuse by encouraging adults to have conversations with the people in their lives. Child sexual abuse is preventable, and we all have a role to play in keeping children and young people safe.
