About About the SACC

General Secretariat | Constitution | History | Provincial Councils | PAIA

We are the facilitating body for a wide fellowship of churches committed to expressing together, through proclamation and programmes, the united witness of the church in South Africa, especially in matters of national debate and order.

The Council is the national ecumenical enabler and co-ordinator of inter-church debate and action. We are well known for the part we played in the struggle against apartheid, the globally- condemned oppressive policy of our former Government. We are now engaged in assisting the reconstruction of the nation and the development of South Africa's fragile new democracy. These pages are dedicated to sharing information about that work together with statements and comments from our leadership, as well as to respond to any queries you may have of us.

Through its 27 member churches and associated para-church organisations, the SACC represents roughly half of the Christians in South Africa. The national office is located at Khotso House in Johannesburg. There are also nine Provincial Councils of Churches working in close contact with us and for the same aims. They are governed by representatives of the Provincial churches as we are governed by our national member-churches.

This site will keep you up to date with our work and witness. If you require further information or wish to send us a query, please write to us.

 

Mission Mission Statement


"As a National Council of Churches and Institutions, the SACC, acting on behalf of its member churches, is called by the Triune God to work for moral reconstruction in South Africa, focussing on issues of justice, reconciliation, integrity of creation and the eradication of poverty and contributing towards the empowerment of all who are spiritually, socially and economically marginalised."
