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.

NCCA Statement on the Escalation of War in the Middle East
24 June 2025
FOUNDATION OF HOPE IN PRAYER FOR GAZA AND MIDDLE EAST REGION
They have treated the wound of my people carelessly, saying, “Peace, peace’, when there is no peace. (Jeremiah 6:14)
We cannot remain silent in the face of the developing war and conflict in the Middle East.
Reflection from the President
So God created humans in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)
What does God want?
In this past week we have seen the madness of war escalate. The actions of the governments of Israel and Iran are appalling. A hospital staffed by Jews, Arabs and Christians that treats all people, has been attacked.
