This summer will be the 28th Summer Youth Leadership Program at the NCC. This year, the theme for the summer is “Overcomer.” In today’s world, we are bombarded with people trying to influence us into joining them, buying the latest and greatest, listen to this, and watch that. This summer the youth will learn from the Gospel of John on how to overcome obstacles, trials, and the culture around us. And what tools they need to be equipped to give them strength during these times. The focus will be on knowing and understanding that they have access to the Kingdom of God and salvation. They can activate their faith and pray to seek the Lord. The goal is to encourage them be themselves in a world that tells them they need to be like everyone else.
The participants will also listen to guest speakers, perform for children around the community, learn life skills as they navigate through teen years, and enrich their own relationship with Jesus. This is a great opportunity for a summer job. Each youth gets paid a stipend for the 7 weeks they participate in the program, and the work week is Monday – Thursday. And at the end of the 7 weeks, there is a trip to close out the summer program. If you know someone who is in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade who would like to apply for our Summer Program, contact the NCC at 256-351-7633 or email at decaturncc1994@gmail.com. |

Our Mission: To serve our neighbors in need with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide hope and healing through education and discipleship.
Let the Little Children Come to Me
-Kathy Leach
We are celebrating ten years of serving the Lord and the children of the Sterr’s neighborhood through Backyard Bible Club. This ministry has definitely been a team effort!
The children have kept us on our toes and on our knees over the years. Many don’t have the opportunity to attend church regularly. It brings us joy to be able to love them and share the Gospel on a weekly basis during the school year. We teach God’s Word through Bible lessons, songs, memory verses, review games, and of course snacks! There have been 19 different children who have attended so far this school year. We praise the Lord also for two children who have trusted Jesus as Savior.
This is God’s ministry, and we look forward to serving Him by sharing the love of Jesus with the children He brings to us!

Current Needs
Over the Christmas break, a pipe at the NCC office building burst and flooded part of the building. Fortunately, staff and volunteers were able to clean up some of the water but there was still damage to some of the clothes closets, toy room, and offices. At this time, we are not able to accept any clothes or household items. Thank you for understanding.
