About the Council

The Capital Area Council of Churches (CACC) was founded in 1941 to foster ecumenism and faithful witness through service, advocacy and celebration. Over the years, membership has grown to about 90 faith communities in the Capital Region of New York State.

To foster the spirit of ecumenism, CACC offers a range of worship services, celebrations and forums. Among these are the Ecumenical Witnesses of Baptism, the Good Friday service and annual musical celebration.

CACC is governed by an Assembly that meets once a year. Updates on Assembly actions, as well as organizational news, are available in CACC’s newsletter The Connection.
