Welcome to the Victorian Council of Churches
The Victorian Council of Churches gathers together in pilgrimage churches which:
- confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures;
- seek to fulfil together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- commit themselves to deepen their relationship with each other in order to express more visibly the unity willed by Christ for his church;
- work together towards the fulfilment of their common mission of witness, proclamation and service.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past, present and emerging.
