Mission & Goals
CCI is a non-profit organization. Our goal is to influence public policy on both sides of the Atlantic and broader at international organizations from a Christian and politically conservative perspective, with the broad objective of fostering and protecting life, family and freedom worldwide. CCI stands up for Christian standards at international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), African Union (AU). CCI is able to do this because it has acquired the powers and access to speak and lobby with these organizations and representatives.

Organisation Members
CCI is a foundation based in the Netherlands. The regulations for such a legal body in the Netherlands are those of a Stichting. It can be translated as a foundation without membership. This does however not imply that we do not represent people. We contact our support base in various ways, such as grassroots meetings, national and international conferences and personal meetings. In all these meetings, we get their views, input and feedback on our work, which can then be implemented in the bodies we are working. The current board of CCI consists of three members. Mr. Henk Jan van Schothorst is the executive officer and founder of the organization from the Netherlands.
