Vision & Mision | Christian Council of Ghana

Vision
To be the Triune God‟s instrument for change in Ghana where the highest value is placed on Peace, Justice, Unity and Respect for the Dignity and Integrity of Creation.

Mission Statement
To strengthen the capacity of our members to contribute to achieving Justice, Unity, Reconciliation and Integrity of Creation among various sectors of Ghanaian society and provide a forum for joint action on issues of common interest. In seeking to achieve this, we are guided by the Holy Bible and, in all matters of national interest, remain non-partisan.

Who we are
The Christian Council apart from its core business of ecumenism is a Research Based Advocacy Institution in these four areas

Governance

Human Rights and Gender

Interfaith and Ecumenism

Social and Economic Justice

Goal
The goal of the Council in its new focus is to contribute to the development of a peaceful, just and equitable society in Ghana, where there would be an increased realization of social and economic rights of disadvantaged women, men and children in Ghana. The Council seeks an increased engagement of itself, member churches and citizen groups with local and national government on social and economic policy and practice. This would assist to enable the Ghanaian government to be more accountable to its citizens.

The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) was founded on 30th October 1929 by five churches namely African Methodist Episcopal (AME), Zion Church, English Church Mission (Anglican), Ewe Presbyterian Church (now Evangelical Presbyterian Church); Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast (now Ghana) and Wesleyan Methodist Church (now the Methodist Church Ghana). The purpose was the search for unity and to work with members on issues of social concern and be the voice of the voiceless in society. Currently the C.C.G. comprises twenty six member churches and three Christian Organizations.
