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.

On this page will find information and links to liturgy and prayer resources for worship and celebration. These have been produced by our Churches and Christian communities.

Resources listed consist of the following:

Reconciliation Week  – marked each year from 28 May to 3 June.

NAIDOC Week – celebrated each year on the first week of July. In NAIDOC Week we celebrate the spiritual and cultural connection of those who walked here first.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday – celebrated each year on the first Sunday of NAIDOC Week
