Preamble

The Council is founded :

On a common belief that God has revealed His eternal purpose for mankind in His Son Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Its members accept the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the supreme standard of faith and practice, and confess their common faith as expressed in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds.
On the acceptance of the principle that the Church is called to common obedience in the Christian enterprise, where the local congregation is basic to its life and witness, and that evangelism is its primary task.
As an association of Member Churches and other Christian organisations, each believing that it is Christ’s will that His Body, the Church, should again be visibly one, and each desiring to work towards this end.
As an association of co-operating members, each of which determines its own policy and action.

To offer itself as an instrument or agency to the churches in Malaysia whereby they can more and more do together everything except what irreconcilable differences of sincere conviction compel them to do separately.
To show forth among its members, that Christian unity which is God’s gift to His people in Jesus Christ, and by common prayer, study, consultation and action, promote the Church’s mission in Malaysia and the World.
Through common consultation and action to form Christian public opinion and bring it to bear on the moral, social, national and international problems of the day, particularly those problems affecting the life and welfare of the people of Malaysia.
