The NACCC encourages you and your church to become involved with your state or regional association. State and regional associations are groups organized in different parts of the country that may share in the mission of the NACCC. Each association is completely independent from the NACCC and provides resources, encouragement, and support for member churches and their leaders.<\/p>\n
