Member Churches

The member churches which meet within the Christian Council of Sweden, are divided into four church families.

The Council links the ministries and activities of the member churches together by arranging forums for exchanging ideas, creating networks, providing communication services, supporting in the development of ecumenism and coordinating joint activities. The Council is also a meeting place for the countries’ church leaders, who meet regularly for council meetings, church leader days and board meetings.
