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
We are in an interesting season for news and global events. It is very hard to ignore the intensity of the reporting on international tensions, war, politics, and sport. There are times when it would be good to turn off the noise and retreat into a level of isolation.Â
