Association of International Churches in Europe, the Middle East and Africa

The Association of International Churches in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (AICEMEA) has existed for several decades to provide fellowship, assistance in times of transition, and leadership training to English-speaking ecumenically open international Chrisian congregations first in Europe, then including the Middle East, and most recently encompassing also a few congregations in Africa. The Association has a non-binding membership with no creedal statement beyond that of the World Council of Churches and calls its member churches to send their pastors or other delegates to an annual conference for consultation, continuing education and planning at a site determined by the officers of the association (elected annually) and the previous annual conference.

Detailed church listings can be found at http://aicemea.net. Additionally, historical listings of former pastors of AICEMEA churches and related congregations in other parts of the world can be found at the web site of the Network of International Congregations http://internationalcongregations.net. The former Office of International Churches/Christians Abroad of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. previously assisted in oversight and provided some infrastructure for such congregations. Last direct of that office before its discontinuance was Dr. Arthur Bauer, a Lutheran pastor. Currently leadership is provided by the Director of the Network of International Congregations, Rev. Scott Campbell, United Methodist pastor in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
