American Council of Christian Churches
- American Council of Christian Churches
The American Council of Christian Churches (ACCC) was founded in 1941 under the leadership of Carl McIntire. McIntire and others created a fundamentalist organization set up in opposition to the "Federal Council of Churches" (now National Council of Churches). The ACCC motto is Jude 3: "Earnestly contending for the Faith".
Membership in the "American Council of Christian Churches" is available to denominations and individual Christians, who are admitted by a 3/4 majority vote. Agreement with the purposes and doctrinal statement are required and membership is specifically denied to those who have affiliations with :the World Council of Churches (WCC) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. (NCC), the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the modern Charismatic Movement, or the Ecumenical Movement ...
The ACCC has remained small in comparison to the National Association of Evangelicals and the National Council of Churches. This is due in part to its strong separatist stance, and in part because separatist denominations will often not participate in "cross-denominational" organizations.
Dr. Ralph Colas currently serves as "Executive Secretary". Offices are in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The ACCC is the national equivalent of the International Council of Christian Churches.
