Welcome
The Conservative Congregational Christian Churches is a theologically conservative association of Ohio churches believing in the autonomy of each local church under the Headship of Christ. We are affiliated with the Conservative Congregational Christian Confernce (CCCC). We are comprised of churches that flow from various streams of history including Congregational, Christian, and Evangelical and Reformed and independent Community churches. We are solidly committed to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, but allow for diversity in those areas where Christians have tended to disagree. Our members hold strong convictions, but do not believe that Christians should divide over secondary issues. As an evangelical denomination, we are fervently committed to evangelism and missions for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Education
by Phillip A. Ross
Seminary training, which has become quite expensive and is out of reach for an increasing number of people, has suffered from the spiritual acids of modernity (Liberalism and Humanism) for two hundred years, and shows no signs of abatement. Congregationalists, of all people, should understand this. We’ve given a lot of seminaries away! More…

When the World Evangelical Congregational Fellowship (WECF) was conceived we wanted a name that would clearly tell who we are. Allow me to say that … More…
Ex-Soviet Leader Gorbachev Admits He is Christian

Mikhail Gorbachev, the last communist leader of the Soviet Union, admitted publicly for the first time on Wednesday that he is a Christian.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev talks during a press conference at the World Political Forum's conference "European Dreams: Promises and Reality" at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest, Hungary, Wednesday Nov. 28, 2007.
Rumors had circulated for decades that Gorbachev was a “closet Christian,” but it was only confirmed yesterday when he made a surprise visit with his daughter Irina to pray at the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy. The former communist leader spent half an hour on his knees in silent prayer at the tomb.
"It was through St. Francis that I arrived at the church, so it was important that I came to visit his tomb," said Gorbachev, according to U.K.’s Telegraph newspaper.
"I feel very emotional to be here at such an important place not only for the Catholic faith, but for all humanity." More…

JERUSALEM — Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter — which calls for the murder of Jews — to America's Declaration of Independence.
The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.
Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department. More…
