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.
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
There is a perspective we all need to bear in mind when we are in conflict …. It is being reminded that we are part of one humanity.
Prayers for Peace
The light of peace from Australia
God, Creator of unity,
help us to make peace with creation,
so that rather than destroying the earth,
we learn to live in harmony with creation,
that all who live on this beautiful blue planet
might have abundant life.
