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

If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honoured, all rejoice together with it. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. (I Corinthians 12:26-27)

Within the Christian community there continues to be a difference in the ways that we express and understand our common faith. At times this can lead to a polarised outcome where one claims to be right and the other is informed that they are wrong.
