The CCCC was organized in 1948 by some Congregational Christian churches and ministers who disagreed with what they perceived as unacceptable liberal theological, moral, and political stances espoused (or tolerated) by the majority of the congregations and national leadership.

Another dissenting CC group was the theologically more diverse National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC), which generally does not claim a place on the political spectrum, as a body.
