Christian Churches Together

Christian Churches Together in the USA (CCT) is a Christian ecumenical group formed in 2006 to "broaden and expand fellowship, unity and witness among the diverse expressions of Christian faith today".^[1]

CCT envisions itself as a place where people of widely differing Christian backgrounds can come together for dialog and sharing, to seek common ground rather than debate differences. It does not have the goal of combining Christian faiths or asking them to yield up their distinctives. The organization is less concerned with particular religious creeds than is the National Council of Churches (NCC). The CCT is therefore expected to appeal to a wider range of Christian churches in the United States. One example is the Roman Catholic Church, which has united with CCT and is not a member of NCC, though they do participate in some NCC programs.^{[citation needed]}

The group was officially organized when over 50 churches and national organizations met together at a retreat center near Atlanta, Georgia on March 28–31, 2006.^{[citation needed]}

The charter membership of CCT comprises 34 churches and church organizations representing over 100 million Americans from Catholic, Orthodox, mainline Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and ethnic Christian faith traditions.^{[citation needed]}
