Christian Churches Together

Christian Churches Together

Christian Churches Together in the USA (CCT) is an organization formed in 2007 to "broaden and expand fellowship, unity and witness among the diverse expressions of Christian traditions in the USA."

Christian Churches Together states that its purpose is to create as a place where people of widely differing Christian backgrounds can come together for dialog and sharing, to seek common ground rather than debate differences. It does not attempt to combine Christian faiths or compromise their distinctiveness. Rather, CCT was created as a space for dialogue and cooperation among churches and a variety of ecumenical Christian ministry organizations. It provides a context in which churches can develop relationships with other churches with whom they presently have little or no contact.

Christian Churches Together includes most, if not all, the Christian traditions in the USA. It also includes non-denominational Christian organizations.

The major activity of the organization is an annual meeting. In the past few years the topics addressed at the annual meeting included evangelism, poverty and racism. The topic for the 2012 annual meeting will be immigration. The CCT can only speak out on issues in which all the churches agree.
