FAQ

The North American Christian Convention is an open gathering of Christians; it is not a delegate convention or a convention of churches. The NACC provides a non-denominational opportunity for Christians to come together to hear grace and truth preached, participate in inspiring singing, engage in strategic networking, connect through enriching fellowship and visit resourceful displays.  Hosted by independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, the NACC gives special emphasis to the restoration of the church according to the plan revealed in the New Testament.

Additionally, a full teen convention, including main sessions and workshops, is scheduled each year as is a Children's Convention and off-site trips for elementary-aged children.

Attendees are church leaders, pastors, elders, staff members and families of Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. Typical attendance is 8000.
