North Carolina Council of Churches
The North Carolina Council of Churches (NCCC) educates, inspires, and mobilizes faith communities to advocate for justice. Founded in 1935 to address racial inequality, the North Carolina Council of Churches was possibly the first place in North Carolina, or even the southeast, that white and black leaders sat together as equals around the same table to address issues mutually important to all.
NCCC’s members include 26 judicatories of 18 denominations and seven individual congregations. Across the state, their members have over 6,200 congregations with about 1.5 million congregants. The Council has often acted courageously in the face of hostility and always spoken prophetically in the face of injustice.
NCCC’s Mission
We enable denominations, congregations, and people of faith to impact our state on issues such as economic justice and development, human well-being, equality, and compassion and peace, following the example and mission of Jesus Christ.
NCCC’s Vision
People of faith leading the social justice movement to create equitable, compassionate, and thriving communities for all.

Join us for the Legislative Seminar in Raleigh, where faith and policy come together to build a more just North Carolina. Whether you are new to advocacy or have been involved for years, this seminar offers a unique opportunity to learn about and engage with key public policy issues shaping the 2025 General Assembly’s long session. By examining legislation through the lens of faith, we can foster conversations that inspire meaningful action and change.
Featuring a keynote address from Leoneda Inge, co-host of Due South on WUNC, along with a sermon from guest preacher Rev. Lisa Yebuah, Lead Pastor of Southeast Raleigh Table, participants will hear perspectives on faith, justice, and community.
Through expert-led workshops, we’ll explore pressing topics such as the economic impact of DOGE in N.C., public education, tax and budget policies, resiliency and recovery, immigration, workers’ rights, cash bail and criminal justice reform, and health care. Join us to gain deeper insight into these issues, connect with advocates, and take action for justice in North Carolina.
