Mission Statement: To serve our neighbors in need with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide hope and healing through education and discipleship.
Summer Youth are Ready to Share the Gospel in new ways
We know this year has not gone as planned, but we are looking forward to the summer months and easing our way back towards a new “normal.” But we are so happy to say that our Summer Youth Leadership Program is underway for the 25th year. It may not look exactly like past years, but the youth in the program this year are ready for whatever this summer holds. There are returning youth and some new ones this summer. We desire to teach these young people leadership skills, valuable work ethic, and expose them to the concept of Christian Community Outreach.

Areas intended for growth include:
• knowledge and application of God's Word • studying the book of Philippians • service to those in need • developing friendships • strengthening community relationships • …and so much more! |

While they won’t get to go to some locations to perform, our director Bethany and youth intern Joshua, are working hard to plan for alternate ways to share the Gospel to children and youth in the community. Because there will be fewer places to go, that gives the youth more time for in depth Bible study, leadership training, and more fellowship time with one another.
The NCC is very grateful for all of the recent donations for emergency supplies. While we are continuing to collect monetary donations for supplies, we are also still raising money for our Summer Youth Leadership Program. This is a summer job for the participants. So if you are able to donate to this program, click the donate button above!
Thank you so much for your prayers, especially in this uncertain time!

Boy Scouts are still in action...just at a 6-foot distance! Scout William Wright completed a service project by collecting and sorting food and hygiene donations for the NCC. Along with 800+ scouts, he attended virtual meetings to work on the Citizenship in the Community merit badge. To wrap up the requirements for the badge, the scouts completed service hours in their communities. William chose the NCC because he wanted to volunteer for an organization that aids citizens with physical needs but more importantly with spiritual ones. Scout William Wright you are a young man with a huge servant's heart and the NCC is thankful for your support in helping us serve our neighbors in need.

We have been excited to partner with the YMCA and Westminister Presbyterian to hand out meals and snacks to children in our neighborhood. Fortunately, our building is nearby the majority of families we serve and they are able to come by and pick up food on Saturday. The YMCA and Westminister do an outstanding job of preparing and coordinating while we are glad to jump in and help wherever needed.
