Get Involved

 

Ecumenical partners often find working together on issues of peace and justice most effective and rewarding. You may be involved in ecumenical ministries if you:

  • Participate in community ministries with other denominations
  • Worship with local churches from other denominations
  • Work together with others on issues of peace and justice
  • Collaborate with people of other faith communion at your local Presbyteries, college campus or adhoc committees

Ecumenical Advocacy Days - a movement of the ecumenical Christian community grounded in biblical witness and our shared traditions of justice, peace and the integrity of creation.

Christian Unity Gathering - organized by the National Council of Churches (NCC), the Christian Gathering is an annual event providing opportunities for Christians to come together to promote social justice and civil rights.

Ecumenical Dialogues- a great way to learn about other denominations, devise ways to cooperate on specific projects, and deepen personal faith.
