AACC Programmatic Pillars

Essentially, AACC seeks to engage churches in the search for theological positioning through dialogue; walks with its members in their prophetic engagement in their contexts; helps in capacity building and resource mobilization of the churches and accompanies the members, especially during their times of crises.

In light of this, the AACC has identified four programmatic pillars to focus on in the next five years.

These are:

  • Advocacy At The African Union
  • Peace, Diakonia And Development
  • Gender, Women And Youth
  • Theology, Interfaith Relations And Ecclesial Leadership Development
