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.

God of justice and mercy,
Before we were one Church,
before our stories were woven together,
your Spirit was already at work,
stitching grace through this ancient land,
breathing hope into fragile hearts,
calling your people to walk in the way of Christ.

We thank you for the threads entrusted to us.

Threads of courage,
woven by those who dreamed of a Church
that would serve rather than be served.

Threads of justice,
carried by those who challenged inequality,
spoke truth in difficult times,
and stood alongside those pushed to the margins.

Threads of reconciliation,
woven through encounters of listening and learning,
through truth-telling and repentance,
through the long and holy work
of walking together with First Peoples.
