Together with the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, the organizations are known as the lianghui (两会), or "two organizations. " Through the CCC, the registered Protestant church participates in the World Council of Churches. The CCC serves to unite and provide services for churches in China by formulating Church Order, encouraging theological education through seminaries and Bible schools, publishing Bibles and other Christian materials, and coordinating training programs for churches. CCC does not receive donations or assistance from overseas, but it manages the Amity Foundation for helping the poverty areas of China, for which activities they receive donations and assistance, such as the Amity Teachers Program where Christian volunteer teachers from overseas teach English or Japanese in the rural areas.
  • 中国基督教協会（ちゅうごくきりすときょうきょうかい、英文：China Christian Council、英文略称：CCC）中国共産党政権公認の中国国内のプロテスタント諸教派からなるキリスト教の合同教会。1980年に設立された。丁光訓が会長で1981-1996（現在は名誉会長）、本部は上海にある。 共産党政権下にあって中国のプロテスタント系教会は1954年に外国人の聖職者・国外勢力の影響を排除するための三自（自治、自養、自伝）運動を展開することとし中国基督教三自愛国運動委員会を設立した。しかしながら文化大革命では中国国内の教会施設はほとんど閉鎖され、聖書を含めた多くのキリスト教関係の書籍が廃棄されるなどの迫害を受けた。文化大革命による迫害が収まった後、プロテスタント諸教派からなる合同教会として中国基督教協会が設立された。重要な決定は中国基督教協会と三自愛国委員会との「両会」の決定として発表される。 宗教的な活動には、三自愛国運動の精神の基づいて、基本的に外国からの援助は受け付けてないが、中国の貧しい地域を助ける活動を関連団体、愛徳基金会（The Amity Foundation）を通して行なっていて、これは日本語教師の貧困地域への派遣などの活動を通して、日本キリスト教協議会（NCC-J）とも関係している。世界教会協議会（WCC）の会員。
