The National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) is an ecumenical fellowship of Churches and Christian organisations in Singapore. It represents over 250 churches in Singapore.[1]

The Council has been noted to be "socially conservative and theologically evangelical", embracing denominational and liturgical diversity. This has led several independent churches to seek membership in the council.[2]

In recent years, it has also taken a more active stance,[2] issuing statements on issues that the Council feels are of grave concern. These include the Pink Dot Movement and the new online gambling laws.[1][3]
