Member
Communions and Denominations
 The
member bodies of the National Council of Churches encompass a wide spectrum
of American Christianity — representing traditions as varied as Protestant,
Orthodox, Evangelical, Anglican, and African-American, historic peace
churches and ethnic-language immigrant churches.
They include more than 100,000 local congregations and 45 million persons in
the United States.
Beyond these member communions, more than 50 faith groups,
from Roman Catholic to Pentecostal, participate in the Council's work
through NCC's five ecumenical
program commissions.
