On March 20, 2026, the Ukrainian Christian Movement (UCM) Forum was held in Kyiv, at the initiative of the Council of Christian Churches of Ukraine. Approximately 300 representatives of civil society organizations, clergy, as well as experts and scholars took part in the event. One-third of the participants were young people under the age of 30.

The stated purpose of the Forum was to create a platform for discussing the current needs of Ukrainian society, exploring pathways for the spiritual and social renewal of Ukraine, developing responses to contemporary challenges in the light of the Christian faith, and fostering coordination and cooperation in agreed areas.

The Forum was conducted in the format of two plenary sessions and seven thematic working groups, which held preparatory meetings online:

- Family and the Protection of Life;

- Christian Education;

- Social and Humanitarian Work;

- Chaplaincy and the Mental Health of the Nation;

- Law, Prosperity, and Morality;

- Advocacy for Ukraine and the Diaspora;

- Creativity and the Arts.

During the plenary sessions, words of blessing were delivered to participants by the Chair of the Council of Christian Churches of Ukraine, Senior Bishop of the Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Anatoliy Kozachok; Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Sviatoslav Shevchuk; Bishop of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine Ephraim (Khomiak); Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church Vitalii Kryvytskyi; Senior Bishop of the Ukrainian Evangelical Church Oleksandr Zaitsev; Bishop of the Ukrainian Lutheran Church Viacheslav Horpynchuk; Deputy Head of the All-Ukrainian Union of Churches of Evangelical Christians-Baptists Roman Vecherkivskyi; Head of the Ukrainian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Bishop Marcos Hovhannisyan; First Deputy Head of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ukraine Volodymyr Velechuk; Head of the Brotherhood of Independent Churches and Missions of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of Ukraine Mykola Rozhniatovskyi, and other religious leaders.

Professor Liudmyla Fylypovych, Head of the Ukrainian Association of Religious Studies, presented a thematic overview titled “Societal Demand for the Church in Ukraine.” Ambassador Jan Tombiński (Poland), Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine (2012–2016), delivered a presentation entitled “Ukrainian Churches Through the Eyes of Europeans.”

Following the Forum, the Final Resolution of the UCM Forum was adopted.

It is worth noting that the Ukrainian Christian Movement was launched in April 2025 during a joint meeting of representatives of the Council of Christian Churches of Ukraine and civil society organizations, in response to current challenges and the need for Ukraine’s spiritual renewal. As a result, the Manifesto of the Ukrainian Christian Movement was adopted.
