Find Support with the NACCC<\/h3>\n

The National Association of Congregational Christian Churches was founded to help Congregational Christian churches maintain their autonomy while benefitting from the experiences, resources, and insights of other churches. The NACCC works to connect our member churches and foster an open dialogue about best practices, common issues, and effective solutions, helping each participating church find meaningful ways to grow and encourage faith among their congregations.<\/p>\n

We believe every Congregational Christian Church has something thoughtful and purposeful to share with our faith community and in sharing our knowledge and experience, our members maintain their right to self-govern and their independence while finding new ways to grow and thrive. As an organization, we develop, implement, and administer several programs, services, and events to provide support to our member organizations.<\/p>\n

\"Congregational Congregational Investment Trust<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>

The Congregational Investment Trust (CIT) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization established as an endowment investment option for member churches, allowing churches to become part of an investment pool with other churches, and, likely, increasing investment return potential and lowering investment fees. Churches that participate in the CIT have access to funds either by written request or by setting up regular distributions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
