FAQ’s

Welcome!  We know that finding a church home can be a difficult and sometimes frustrating experience.  Please know that there are people at Northwest Community Church (NCC) who are praying for our guests even before they enter our parking lot on a Sunday morning.  If you are thinking about visiting us, please know that you will not be here by accident.  Below are questions that have been asked of us in the past.  Hopefully, they will include many of your questions as well.

WHEN ARE YOUR WORSHIP SERVICES?

Each Sunday morning, NCC offers 2 worship services.  One begins at 9 am and one begins at 10:45 am.  The service runs about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Choose the one that is most convenient for you and your family, or the one that gives you the chance to attend a Growth Group before or after the worship service.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PLAN MY VISIT?

Plan on arriving 15 minutes prior to the start of the service.  We have guest parking for you in the West and the North parking lots.  Look for the designated guest parking areas.  There are also Senior and disabled parking available.  Upon exiting your car proceed to the tables with orange umbrellas.  These are called Connection Points and are staffed by warm, friendly, helpful people wearing black kukui nut leis.  They have a gift bag for you as well as one for any children with you.  They will escort you anywhere you wish to visit on campus and answer any questions you may have.  After the service, we would love to meet you at the Welcome Center for a time of refreshments and fellowship.  Follow the signs located around the campus to find the Welcome Center.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON MY FIRST VISIT?

It is a casual atmosphere.  Friendly people will help you find your way around the campus as it can be confusing (see the campus map).  Our worship service combines great music with relevant and practical teaching that is scripturally sound.  Adult Sunday School classes known as Growth Groups are available each hour during the morning services.  For more details see the website under Adults or ask someone at the Connection Points or Welcome Center.  We also have great children classes where they are taught about God in creative ways.  However, if you are not comfortable leaving your children, they are more than welcome to attend the worship service with you.  We want you to know you matter to us and to God. 

As a first time guest, we do not expect you to participate in the offering.  We depend on our members and regular attendees for our weekly gifts.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

At NCC you will see some people dressed casually and some people dressed up.  Don’t worry about how you dress.  You are welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable.

WHERE DO I TAKE MY KIDS?

Stop by one of the Connection Points and ask for assistance.  Someone will gladly escort you and your children to the appropriate area.  You can also check on the website under Kids Security Check-In.
