The Communion of Churches in Indonesia (CCI), Indonesian: Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia (PGI), is a fellowship organisation of Protestant churches in Indonesia. This fellowship was founded on 25 May 1950 , in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, under the name Council of Churches in Indonesia (Dewan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia – DGI) as a manifestation of the desire of Protestants in Indonesia to reunite the Protestant Church as the fragmented Body of Christ. Therefore, PGI stated that the aim of its formation was to create one Christian Church in Indonesia. It is a member of the World Council of Churches.[2]
The Communion is the largest organisation of Christian Churches in Indonesia.[3] In 2024, it had 104 member churches,[4] and its chairman is the Reverend Jacklevyn Frits Manuputty. Its slogan is 'Creating One Christian Church in Indonesia'.
