A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO STAND UP FOR THE UNITED CHURCH’S TRADITIONAL FAITH
Until very recently, only those United Church congregations supporting the faith expressed in the Basis of Union could belong to the National Alliance of Covenanting Congregations, a Canada-wide association firmly committed to the need for the United Church to return to its faith roots and to the moral standards flowing from them.
But now NACC membership has been broadened! Small congregational groups (of 6 or more persons), and individuals who want to play their part in upholding the Church’s historic understanding of its Christian faith are welcome to join. Find out more about us today and learn how to join!
For more information, please contact the NACC Office: PO Box 1022, Barrie ON, L4M 3G1, phone 1-800-678-2607, fax (705) 737-1086, or email nacc@csolve.net.
