​​Northern California Nevada Conference
of the United Church of Christ (NCNC-UCC)

---

Along with being part of the UCC, CCC is also in connection with the Northern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ, which includes six associations, about 120 local churches and more than 300 authorized ministers from Fresno in the south to the California-Oregon border in the north, from the Pacific Ocean in the west to Winnemucca, Nevada in the east. In this vast territory are churches and ministries diverse in age, race/ethnicity, and mission. Two camps, Cazadero and Tamarack, and one seminary, the Pacific School of Religion, are also included in this territory. The Conference is headed by a Conference Minister and two Associate Conference Ministers.  

The Conference meets at the Annual Gathering each late spring/early summer on the beautiful campus of Sonoma State University. The collective expression of around 500 voting members and friends, including at minimum 50% lay people representing their local churches, results in a dynamic event of worship, business, learning, and connection.

NCNC-UCC Annual Gathering
 The Annual Gathering of the Northern California Northern Nevada Conference United Church of Christ is the assembly of members of the Conference, which consists of all Local Churches and Authorized Ministers, coming together to be about the mutual work of the church. As the highest legislative body of the Conference, the Annual Gathering adopts resolutions for consideration by our members in their discernment and ministry. The Annual Gathering serves as the legal annual meeting required of incorporated nonprofit organizations in the State of California.     ​
