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.

2025 – An Ecumenical Year on the Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity

In 2025, the WCC and ecumenical fellowship draw inspiration from the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325 and the 100th anniversary of the Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work in Stockholm in 1925 to promote unity among churches and humanity.

This brochure highlights WCC activities and events that will commemorate these two events, but also a number of other significant anniversaries.
