Our Mission: To serve our neighbors in need with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide hope and healing through education and discipleship.
The NCC’s “Heart of A Servant” Summer Youth Leadership Program is a teen/young adult summer program that allows young people who are interested in community service to work hands-on with those in need, training them to be servant leaders. Each participant will get an extensive understanding of what the 4 pillars of our summer program are, which will contribute to them becoming a God-honoring servant leader.
•Spiritual Transformation: Servant leaders will develop and possess a deep understanding of differing perspectives, other’s needs, and the feelings of those they serve. Spiritual Transformation will be vital and a key component in guiding our summer programming. Romans 12:1-2
•Character Development: Servant leaders are humble individuals who prioritize the greater good over their egos or self-interests. They recognize their limitations, acknowledge the contributions of others, and are willing to admit mistakes and learn from feedback. Their humility fosters trust, respect, and collaboration within their teams and communities. Matthew 23:12
•Career Attainment: Servant leaders are dedicated to the growth and development of others as well as themselves. We will invest time and resources in nurturing the talents, skills, and potential of those under our care, empowering them to reach their full potential. Servant leaders will be aided and assisted in achieving personal and professional growth goals. Proverbs 18:16
•Community Empowerment: At the core of servant leadership is a genuine desire to serve others and make a positive difference in other’s lives. Servant leaders exhibit selflessness, generosity, and a servant-hearted attitude in all their interactions and decisions. They derive fulfillment from serving others and satisfaction from seeing others succeed and thrive. Psalm 133:1
The teens will have various duties including their participation in Neighbors Days at the NCC. Teens will go into the community and host “Mini Vacation Bible Schools” with local programs, which will include providing treats, organized storytelling, arts and crafts, and community service work. The teens will also participate in Bible study classes, business tours, college preparation classes, college visits, and financial training.
The NCC Summer Youth Leadership Program aims to introduce the younger generation to the many problems that distress our communities and teach them how to be the change our community needs. Our goal is to ultimately stress the importance of a God-centered servant leader.

The Future of Decatur visits the NCC
The Decatur Morgan CEO Program recently paid a visit to the NCC, where they immersed themselves in learning about our various ministries and explored the Center firsthand. During their visit, DT issued a challenge to our aspiring entrepreneurs: don't wait to be a CEO; take charge of your own life and make a positive impact on others. “Mrs. Pamela is lost among the kids in the photo, but we know that’s how she likes it. She has devoted time and care over the years to the CEO program. It has been a joy to welcome DT and Jhorden to Decatur.” @decaturmorganalceo
We always appreciate when members of our community express interest in learning more about the NCC and our ministries. If you're interested in taking a tour and discovering more about what we do, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 256-351-7633. We'd love to show you around! |
“Pack A Purse:” A Mission to Support Women in Need
We are grateful to Izzy Kate Priest for her incredible initiative in starting the "Pack A Purse" Ministry over a year ago. Through her dedication and compassion, Izzy Kate has made a meaningful difference in the lives of women in our community.
Her simple yet impactful idea of collecting purses and filling them with donated hygiene items and essentials has brought joy and comfort to countless women we serve. It's heartwarming to see the excitement on their faces as they receive not only much-needed hygiene items but also a brand-new purse. Izzy Kate's generosity and kindness exemplify the spirit of giving back to our community and supporting those in need. We are truly grateful for her ongoing efforts and the positive impact she continues to make through her "Pack A Purse" Ministry. |
