Courage.
Justice.
Holy Imagination.
The Wisconsin Council of Churches (WCC) is a network of Christian churches and faith-based organizations committed to working together across our many differences. Exercising holy imagination, we help one another make courageous choices that lead toward peacemaking, social and economic justice for Wisconsin’s most vulnerable residents, the vitality of the church, and the well-being of our neighbors. The Council connects 23 Christian traditions, which have within them approximately 2,000 congregations and over one million church members. Join with us as we pray and work together for the unity and renewal of the church and the healing and reconciliation of the world.

Religious Liberty
We, the undersigned, urge the federal government to protect the religious liberty of all people and we strongly condemn the rise of Christian Nationalism, a dangerous conflation of fundamentalist Christianity, conservative politics, and fierce patriotism which distorts what it means to be an American citizen and an engaged Christian in society.

After Palm Sunday
On Sunday, March 29th, Christians gathered in 11 cities across the state to commemorate Palm Sunday in the public square. Almost 1800 people in Wisconsin joined with Christians across the nation as part of 35 Palm Sunday actions in 17 states, and almost 20,000 attendees combined to lift up Jesus’ call to feed the hungry, heal the sick, and welcome the stranger.
