We work at the intersection of faith, social justice, and policy here in NC. From rigorous policy analysis to stories of everyday grace, we’ve got you covered. The Council enables denominations, congregations, and people of faith to impact our state on issues such as economic justice and development, human well-being, equality, compassion and peace, following the example and mission of Jesus Christ. From efforts on behalf of farmworkers, to encouraging the protection of God's earth, to exposing racism within the criminal justice system, the North Carolina Council of Churches is at the forefront of progressive social issues that go to the heart of whom God would have us to be. By drawing together members of 18 Christian denominations in this work, the Council also serves our other key focus, Christian unity. While the Council is itself overtly Christian, many of the committees and task groups are interfaith, including members from non-Christian faith communities. Several committees also include members of Christian denominations which are not part of the Council of Churches. Through this work, we live our motto: Strength in Unity, Peace through Justice.
