The
VCC Vision
The Victorian Council of Churches is a fellowship
of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ
as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures
and seek to fulfil together their common calling
to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
The Victorian Council
of Churches meets as an Assembly of the church-appointed
delegates, and as an Executive and Commissions
(nominated by member churches and appointed
by the Assembly). Several programs are conducted
by the Victorian Council of Churches:
- the Community
Recovery Program (formerly called Displan),
part of the State Government's Emergency Recovery
plan - an opportunity for church teams to
be involved in helping their communities after
a disaster;
- the provision
of a Secretary for the Youth Ministry Network.
This 2 day-a-week position enables youth ministry
people and organisations keep in good contact
with each other.
The Victorian
Council of Churches also supports and promotes
the programs of the National Council of Churches
in Australia e.g. the Decade to Overcome Violence,
Christmas Bowl and partners4peace and the National
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical
Commission.
