The NSW Ecumenical Council invites Christian churches and organisations to join in our shared mission of unity, witness, and service across NSW and the ACT.
Whether you represent a Christian church or a Christian-aligned organisation, there is a place for you within the Council’s community.
Full membership is open to Christian churches that acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures, and share the commitment to common witness and service that underpins the Council’s mission.
Member Churches participate in the Council’s General Assembly, are represented on the Executive Committee, and may contribute to and vote on matters of Council policy.
Affiliate membership is open to Christian organisations — including schools, welfare agencies, community groups, and other bodies — that share the Council’s values and wish to participate in its work without the governance responsibilities of full church membership.
Affiliate Members are invited to contribute to Taskforces, attend Council events, and access the Council’s networks and resources.
The Council currently comprises twenty member churches drawn from across the Christian tradition in NSW and the ACT.
“Membership of the Council is not merely an administrative arrangement — it is an expression of our shared calling to be one in Christ, as a sign of hope to the world.”
Interested in joining the NSW Ecumenical Council as a Member Church or Affiliate Member? Complete the form below and the General Secretary will be in touch.
Once we receive your enquiry, the General Secretary will contact you to discuss your interest in membership, answer any questions, and outline the next steps.
The process typically involves a conversation, review of the Council’s Constitution, and a formal resolution by the Executive Committee.
