Our Mission: To serve our neighbors in need with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide hope and healing through education and discipleship.
Honoring Those Who Serve Behind the Walls
The Neighborhood Christian Center was honored to partner with the Morgan County Jail in celebrating Correctional Officer Appreciation Week. This year's theme, "The Dream Team," recognized the dedicated men and women who faithfully serve behind the walls each day with professionalism, integrity, and compassion.
Throughout the week, NCC staff and volunteers expressed their gratitude by providing meals, snacks, games, daily devotional, encouraging notes, and door prizes as a small way of saying "thank you" to the correctional officers and jail staff. Their work often goes unseen, yet they serve in a challenging environment that requires courage, professionalism, and compassion.
One of the highlights of the week was welcoming Reformation 319, a Christian nonprofit founded by retired Federal Bureau of Prisons lieutenant Jason Zaharis. Their ministry exists to encourage correctional officers by promoting personal, mental, and family wellness while helping officers integrate their Christian faith into every aspect of their work. Reformation 319 also seeks to improve relationships between correctional staff and those who are incarcerated, fostering a culture of dignity, hope, and transformation.
At the NCC, we know firsthand the sacrifices correctional officers make. Through our ongoing jail ministry, we have the privilege of serving alongside the staff at the Morgan County Jail each week. We are deeply grateful for their partnership, which allows volunteers to share the hope of Jesus Christ with hundreds of men and women each year.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to every correctional officer and staff member at the Morgan County Jail. Thank you for your commitment to protecting our community, maintaining safety within the facility, and treating others with professionalism and respect. We pray that God will continue to strengthen, encourage, and bless you as you faithfully serve others.

Opening Doors to Hope and New Beginnings
Recently, we welcomed a mother into the Nehemiah House with her two children. She has also recently been granted custody of her three nephews, bringing her family to five children. Living in a small two-bedroom apartment, she longed for a safe and stable place for her family. We connected with her through CASA and were inspired by her determination. She is employed, has been accepted into nursing school, and is working hard to build a brighter future. Nehemiah House will provide the security and support her family needs as she pursues her education and creates a stable home for the children in her care.
At Ruth House, we are excited to announce that a new roof will soon be installed thanks to a generous grant. We are also celebrating one resident who successfully completed the program and now serves as the Neighborhood Christian Center's In-Kind Donation Coordinator while continuing to reside at the Ruth House as she prepares for full independence. In addition, we recently welcomed a new resident and her nine-month-old baby. As she works to overcome addiction, we are honored to provide encouragement, accountability, and a Christ-centered community to help her move toward lasting hope and healing.
Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue to provide safe housing, practical assistance, and the hope of Christ to families rebuilding their lives.
