What National Council Of Churches In The Philippines does

The National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) is a non-profit ecumenical organization founded in 1963 and headquartered in Quezon City, Philippines. It is the largest aggregation of mainline Protestant and non-Roman Catholic churches in the country, serving as a unifying platform for member churches, associate members, and Regional/Provincial Ecumenical Councils (RECs). Its mission centers on Christian unity, ecumenical relations, faith witness, humanitarian response, human rights advocacy, migrant worker protection, and disaster relief. NCCP operates through three core programs: Ecumenical Education and Nurture; Christian Unity and Ecumenical Relations; and Faith, Witness and Service.

NCCP's product surface consists of liturgical and educational resources rather than technology products. It produces Vacation Church School materials, worship resources (including Migrants Sunday liturgy and Easter prayers), development resources, a COVID-19 primer ("Tungo sa Paghilom"), and civic engagement publications such as the NCCP 2025 Mid-Term Elections Guide. The organization convenes forums including the Human Rights Assessment Forum, supported by the EU's EIDHR project. Its advocacy is amplified through formal statements, Twitter, Facebook, and its website, and it co-founded multi-faith coalitions such as the Philippine Interfaith Movement Against Human Trafficking (PIMAHT) alongside the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines and the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches.

The organization's revenue model is non-commercial and non-disclosed. Funding flows from member church contributions, associate member support, and grants from international ecumenical partners such as ACT Alliance (for humanitarian and disaster response) and the World Council of Churches. NCCP employs approximately 20 staff and is governed by a General Secretary (Ms. Minnie Anne M. Calub, elected 2023) and an officers' board serving a four-year term (2024-2027). The 26th General Convention is the highest policy-making body. NCCP does not charge for its services and distributes resources freely to member churches and the public.
