Bringing Stone-Campbell Churches Together In Mission
Through learning, gathering, and serving, Global Christian Connexion (formerly World Convention) works to bring Christian Churches, Disciples of Christ, and Churches of Christ (and other like-minded Churches) together in effective mission efforts.
FEATURED UNITY OPPORTUNITY:
Join Us in Learning and Serving in Poland
Two years. It seems impossible that the war in Ukraine - which we all thought was impossible until February 24, 2022 - is still ongoing. We have been supporting churches from the US that have wanted to volunteer in Poland since the war began. Connecting churches and facilitating meaningful service and learning opportunities has been a blessing. We see the continued need to come alongside local churches, serve newly arriving refugee families, and connect resources for greater impact.
If your church or university would like to join us in Poland this year, please reach out to our executive director, Tina Bruner at tina@gcconnexion.org.
To get a snapshot of the impact churches are having and to understand the needs and opportunities for involvement, please watch the video "Impossible is Nothing" below. We believe the church's unified efforts in responding to global needs should include pooling resources for the greatest impact through local churches. We invite you to share in meeting the many needs of Ukrainian refugees who are in crisis.
Help Serve Refugees in Przemyśl
The increased bombing of civilian targets in Ukraine is pushing more women, children, and the elderly to flee Ukraine. With your help, we have reopened the refugee center at the border and the staff and volunteers have named it "Safe Home" and it is exactly what our goal is - to create a safe home for those who have to leave their homes for unknown ones. Would you join us in serving them? We are also hosting 40 young Ukrainian people for a week of camp each month to provide respite for them build resilience and meet their physical and spiritual neends.
Support GC Connexion where Needed Most
By designating use of your gift "where needed most", you enable us to allocate funds at our discretion for priority needs—those shown here, as well as expenses that include developing and implementing our strategy to learn, serve and gather together.
Our Global Churches Participation in Poland
In 2024 we are inviting our sister Churches from around the world to join us in Poland to serve alongside Polish and Ukrainian believers. There are still millions of refugees living in Poland, some newly arriving and others in the midst of trying to settle for as long as the war persists. Some of our Churches will have difficulty participating due to the high costs of flights. Be part of the demonstration of the unity of the Church in this continuing crisis.
DID YOU KNOW THAT UKRAINE AND POLAND DO NOT HAVE A FRIENDLY PAST (Circa WWII)?
Watch this video to gain a deeper understanding of what refugees are experiencing and be inspired by how Polish people are writing a "new story" in their relationship with Ukrainians.
We are grateful to be able to be part of this.
Please join us—and them—through your support.
About Achieving Unity Through Connexion
Today in any Christian World Communion, there is great diversity in belief and practice.
There are also many features of each stream that the whole church of Jesus Christ shares.
Global Christian Connexion facilitates the power of unity by providing resources and opportunities for Stone-Campbell churches (and beyond) to learn from each other.
Together we are stronger and better equipped for mission.

THAT WE MAY ALL BE ONE
Common Grounds Unity seeks, in part, to be an answer to the prayer of Jesus in John 17:21-23. Jesus valued unity and prayed for it - that we “may all be one.”
