National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA

The NCC is a community of communions called by Christ to visible unity and sent forth in the Spirit to promote God’s justice, peace, and the fullness of human community.

Founded in 1950, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) is a community of communions of 37 Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelical, historic African American and Living Peace churches called by Christ to visible unity and sent forth in the Spirit to promote God’s justice, peace, and the healing of the world.

The NCC has been re-envisioning and restructuring to adapt to the rapidly changing ecclesial and inter-religious landscape since September 2011. In this new structure, the NCC convenes and collaborates with member communions, other partners and faith traditions around our historic priorities of theological study and dialogue, interfaith study and dialogue, joint advocacy for justice and peace, and education and leadership formation at four convening tables. The NCC operations are based in Washington, DC with three satellite offices in New York City.
