About the Fellowship
A House Built on the Cornerstone
United Cornerstone Churches International (UCCI) was established in 2005 as a global apostolic fellowship under the leadership of Presiding Prelate, Chief Apostle James H. Carter.
From its headquarter church — Cornerstone Church of Christ in Thomasville, North Carolina — UCCI ordains, credentials, and covers ministers; charters churches and mission outposts; and convenes an annual Holy Convocation for governance, doctrine, and the consecration of leaders.
Governance
UCCI operates under a written Constitution and Bylaws binding every church, leader, and ministry. The Executive Council — comprised of the Council of Apostles, Bishops, Overseers, District Elders, and Pastors — meets in executive session at each Annual Holy Convocation.
