Women

Ministry to Women at NCC exists to honor God by teaching and training women to a mature faith in Jesus Christ that motivates them to service and disciple making in their home, in their church, in their community and in the world.  We have a number of ministries in place which are designed to provide opportunities for women to learn and grow in these areas, while providing fellowship with other women from the church.  We believe that growth and encouragement are best fostered in the context of relationships with other women; mentoring is an important facet of all we do!

Our ministries include Bible Studies, mentoring, and leadership training, as well as outreach events designed to provide opportunities for women to invite their friends and family to fellowship with women from the church and community.
