FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Dear Friends of the Association and the Congregational Way A powerful description of the early church is found in Acts 2 44 47 In that passage the early Christian community was described as giving to each one as there was a need as seeking God s will together as praying together and as working together for the common good That serves as an apt description of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches NACCC Our member churches hold the work and ministry of the NACCC in trust so that our staff can provide assistance to each member church as there is a need Always our work is done with the intent to provide what is most needed in the life of any particular church at any time This is especially true now as we all the NACCC and our member churches and their communities are facing unique challenges because of the COVID 19 pandemic which makes the mutual support for one another more needed We want to share some of the accomplishments of the past year The work identified in the 2019 Annual Report is ongoing For example the Annual Meeting Accessibility Task Team produced a list of recommendations to help make the Annual Meeting and Conference more affordable with many of them being implemented now The Website Task Team continues to make progress and is currently reviewing quotes from three design companies for the future website project The Center for Congregational Leadership CCL Task Team is finalizing a list of recommendations for the work of the CCL including creating a standing committee to help produce resources to share with our member churches Recommendations made by The Congregationalist task team were implemented which helped to reduce the magazine s annual deficit Last July the NACCC began a partnership with the Center for Parish Development CPD to launch a pilot program for church renewal for our congregations with churches able to use the materials produced by and access coaching from the CPD Two cohorts of two churches each have been formed to engage in this process Additionally other churches are using materials from the CPD in congregational Bible studies With the ongoing issues relating to sexual abuse and sexual harassment including religious groups with a congregational type polity a Task Team has been formed to update the response of the NACCC with a set of guidelines to be offered to our churches It is our privilege to join with you as we work together to support one another It is good to come together to serve God and to advance the Congregational Way Jim Waechter NACCC Moderator Rev Dr Michael Chittum NACCC and Congregational Foundation Executive Director NACCC Annual Report 2019 www naccc org 3
A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARDS Dear Member Churches and Supporters I am pleased to report the work of the Board of Directors BoD on your behalf The BoD is the governing board of the NACCC for all legal and financial matters The BoD conducted its regular work evaluating our Executive Director accepting the invitation of Plymouth Congregational Church of Wichita to host the 2022 Annual Meeting Conference AMC approving the members of the Board of Governors and liaisons to boards and committees And the Sexual Abuse Task Team continues to be hard at work updating resources for our member churches which will be shared soon Most of this year s work for the BoD was conducted with the Board of Governors Members of both boards formed a Relationship Task Team to more clearly articulate how financial decisions would be made This team successfully created a list of action items approved by both boards which allowed the BoD to move forward with the completion of the transfer of designated endowments to the Congregational Foundation Lastly because of COVID 19 the Board voted to not proceed with our 2020 AMC Instead we will meet virtually in June I have enjoyed working with the BoD the Leadership Council and Board of Governors And I cannot say enough about the dedication of our staff They make all of our work possible Rev Dr Cynthia Bacon Hammer Vice Moderator Chair of the Board of Directors Dear Members and Friends of the NACCC The Congregational Foundation was established in 2003 to ensure the longevity of the NACCC by collaborating with donors and developing long term sustainable sources of revenue Members of the Board of Directors of the Foundation known as the Board of Governors are clergy and laity from NACCC churches around the country This year the Congregational Foundation distributed 115 900 to the NACCC to help support activities and services such as The Congregationalist Center for Congregational Leadership missions youth education and emergency relief Funding was awarded to local churches for fine arts programing and to assist them in sending a delegate to the Annual Meeting and Conference As the culmination of three years of focused effort by the Consolidation Task Team comprised of representatives from throughout the NACCC the NA Board of Directors reaffirmed the 2017 motion to transfer permanent endowments to the Congregational Foundation The Board of Governors looks forward to expanding the scope of our financial engagement with NACCC programs in FY2021 and beyond We are grateful for staff leadership member churches and other donors whose commitment vision and acts of generosity sustain the Congregational Way Rev Dr Ashley Cook Cleere President Board of Governors Congregational Foundation 4 NACCC Annual Report 2020 www naccc org
