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.

Mapping Social Cohesion surveys are a unique source of data about how Australians view their lives and the communities they live in.

Data in Australia has been mapped since 2009 and the 8th insight report outlines the findings from this data in relation to religion and its changing influence upon social cohesion.

Christianity is still a major social and political force in Australia but increasing numbers of people report being non-religious. However, it appears that religious beliefs continue to shape how some Australian communities see themselves, the wider world, and how they connect with others.

To understand how religion affects social cohesion and who is likely to be religious in Australia, read the insight report linked below.
