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.
