Who we are

The KwaZulu-Natal Christian Council (KZNCC) is a provincial fellowship of churches and church-based organizations, founded in 1996 as part of a restructuring process initiated by the South African Council of Churches (SACC) which established nine provincial councils of churches after the first democratic elections in 1994. The KZNCC is an autonomous organization affiliated to the SACC. Its purpose is to help the churches of KwaZulu-Natal develop a Christian response to the many challenges of this province.

Our vision

The KZNCC and its member churches and organisations:

• identify and respond to provincial challenges;
• develop an appropriate spirituality for promoting justice, development and peace;
• witness to our Christian faith.

Our mission

Recognising the sanctity of life, and as an expression of our Christian faith, we encourage ecumenism throughout the province, especially by initiating and supporting local ecumenical structures.

In this regard, we aim to:

• play a coordinating, supporting, facilitating and networking role at provincial level;
• promote lobbying and advocacy; 
• encourage an ecumenical focus on democracy development, the healing of memories and reconciliation, economic empowerment, and responding to HIV and AIDS;
• concentrate on the empowerment of all who are spiritually, socially or economically marginalised, especially in the rural areas of the province.
