NCCP
(National Council of Churches in the Philippines)

BRIEF HISTORY
Founded in 1963, the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) is an ecumenical
fellowship of non-Roman Catholic denominations in the Philippines working for unity in faith and order.
This implies providing the churches opportunities for common prophetic witness and service in
responding to the people’s issues, specifically justice and peace, human dignity and rights, and the
integrity of creation. It finds its theological basis on the fact of the incarnation – of God in solidarity with
us, especially with those who suffer and the vulnerable – for the affirmation of just and inclusive
communities. It also compels the church to bring about Christian hope in to the realm of the possible in a
society weighed down by systemic violence and degradation.

The ministry of the NCCP is organized into three distinct programs – Ecumenical Education and
Nurture, Christian Unity and Ecumenical Relations, and Faith, Witness and Service – which seek to
express its mission of promoting fellowship, being a channel of united witness and a vibrant and credible
institution for Christian solidarity towards genuine transformation of church and society.
