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.

“In Every Season” – Video

Wisdom is woven through all creation. In every season we’re all called to care for, indeed to love, God’s creation. 

Through their recently released video, Common Grace invite us to listen and watch as Uncle Pastor Ray Minniecon shares this ancient wisdom.
