ICCC ECUMENICAL AFFILIATIONS The ICCC is a member of the National Council of Churches, the World Council of Churches, Christian Churches Together and the Churches Uniting in Christ (CUIC). Through these conciliar bodies, the Council witnesses and works for Christian unity. ICCC churches and centers are given a national and international voice in bodies which seek to shape the Church and human society.
Called by God to seek unity in the body of Christ, the International Council of Community Churches works for unity through several major ecumenical affiliations. Contributions to support these affiliations come only through designated gifts from churches, ministry centers, and individuals. Contributions can be sent through the Council office—ensuring full reportage—or directly to the organization.
