Welcome to the NACCC

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
MISSION STATEMENT

For the next several years our Association will be focusing on how best to live out the new mission statement passed at the 2007 Annual Conference in St. Petersburg.

Bringing together Congregational Christian Churches
for mutual care and outreach to our world
in the name of Jesus Christ.

With intellectual freedom and responsibility before God as guiding values, Congregational Christian Churches have founded colleges at home and planted missions abroad. The Congregational Way has provided a religious, philosophical and moral force that has shaped our nation and the world from the moment the Mayflower landed in the new world.

Congregational Christian Churches offer one another the right hand of fellowship through state and regional associations, and through the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches. By voluntary membership in a National Association of free churches, a local church can join in efforts one church could not undertake by itself and experience the fellowship of kindred minds in a nationwide body of churches, while maintaining full control of its own affairs.

NACCC- A Strong Vision for the Future

This year’s priorities:

The Pilgrimage Continues – An Annual Meeting which seeks to help churches rediscovery their roots and prepare for the next part of our journey together

A Strategic Planning Team – Answering the question, “What will our Churches need ten years from now to be Christ’s people in their communities and the world?”

Bringing our partnership with Olivet College closer to reality - Creating the NACCC’s Center for Congregational Leadership
