Churches of Christ National Lectureship โ Organization Profile
The Churches of Christ National Lectureship (COCNL) is a long-running annual Bible lectureship associated with the African American Churches of Christ. The lectureship gathers Christians for concentrated preaching, teaching, worship, and fellowship. The lectureship traces its beginnings to 1945 and has continued as a national gathering where attendees hear Bible-centered lessons from a wide range of speakers and teachers connected with churches of Christ.
COCNL is designed to strengthen faith and encourage congregations through Scripture-focused instruction and practical teaching for Christian living and congregational life. While themes and presenters change from year to year, the consistent purpose is to build up the church through lessons that address topics such as biblical interpretation, discipleship, worship, leadership, evangelism, and doctrinal study. The multi-session format allows attendees to learn across several subjects in a single gathering.
The โNational Lectureshipโ is also a relational gathering point. Over the years it has served as a place where Christians reconnect across regions, encourage one another, and share ministry experiences. COCNL is widely recognized for its historic roots and influence within the African American churches of Christ tradition, while remaining open to participants from a broad range of congregations who want Bible teaching and fellowship in a national setting.
Geographically, the lectureship is commonly associated with the Atlanta area and is coordinated in cooperation with host-area congregations. Administrative information is publicly provided through the official COCNL website, including a mailing address in McDonough, Georgia, which serves as a consistent point of contact for registration help, general questions, and correspondence.
Beyond attending in person, people can engage by sharing the lectureship with their congregation, supporting the work financially, and following official communications for updates. The organization also maintains an official Facebook presence, and public resources include online registration and participation information for attendees, vendors, and sponsors.
