About the NCCFA

Fellowship has always been a valuable aspect of the church. Spending time with other like-minded people, particularly people who share faith beliefs, is a meaningful experience for a Christian. One such place where this can happen is at the National Christian College Forensics Invitational (NCCFI) tournament. Once a year we gather as Christians in the activity of forensics to share our passion for speech and debate while spending time with other Christians.

If your university considers itself to be an institution of Christian values, we invite you to join us for our annual tournament! It is a meaningful time of rigorous and accessible speech and debate and quality fellowship with other Christians.


Congratulations to Whitworth University, who won the 2026 Overall Tournament Sweepstakes!


The 2027 NCCFI will be held on the campus of Colorado Christian University.
