NC4 offers many ways to receive care or to plug in and serve, using your gifts and talents to share the love of Christ. Read on to see what’s right for you.
ALPHA
 |
ALPHA is a 10-week course designed for people who are interested in investigating Christianity and want answers to basic questions. There is no prerequisite other than a curiosity about God, Christianity, or things Christians believe. If you are a new to the church, a new believer, someone who doesn’t know what to believe, or just want to brush up on the basics, this is a great course to be in. We start off with a meal together, followed by a 30-minute video and group discussion. We discuss topics like who is Jesus, why did Jesus die, why and how do I pray, does God heal today, and many others.

ARTS MINISTRIES
NC4 has several ministries the embrace artistic expression. For more information on these ministries, please visit their home pages or contact the ministry leaders.
ASSIMILATION (GREETING, HOSTING, GUEST CONTACT, etc.)
The Assimilation Ministry endeavors to make everyone feel welcome and safe when they visit NC4. Our hope is for people to meet others, connect as quickly and easily as possible, and then get involved in ministry.
DISCIPLE ZONE (SUNDAY SCHOOL)
|
|
The mission of our Disciple Zone (Sunday school) program is to supplement and reinforce family Christian education with a biblically-based curriculum. Children go to either the first-floor or Fellowship Hall (lower floor) classrooms during the message for age-appropriate instruction and interaction, typically for 45-60 minutes. Children tend to find our Disciple Zone program welcoming, fun, and inspirational.

MANNA MINISTRY (MEALS FOR MEMBERS IN NEED)
When faced with a crisis (healthcare issues, the death of a loved one, etc.), or a special event like the birth of a child, it is often very helpful when others lend a hand by assisting with the family’s dinner preparation. The Manna ministry provides meals to members of NC4 when such a need arises.

The priority of this ministry is to equip our men to be effective husbands and fathers and strong role models in their homes. We focus heavily on issues of sexual purity and fathering.

MISSIONS
At NC4, we believe we are required by scripture to further the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to people groups that are beyond the limitations and boundaries of our own culture. Accordingly, we have three teams that oversee missions:
- Short-term Missions – oversight of all short-term missions (any mission trip shorter than one year). We typically visit 4-6 locations each year. Leader: Chris Templeton
- Missionary Care - Oversight of our missionaries on the field. Leader: Samatha Heaney

WOMEN’S MINISTRY

New Covenant’s women’s ministry seeks to encourage women to Reach Up and grow closer to the Lord, Reach In and build relationships with one another and Reach Out to our community. Learn more...
|
WORSHIP TEAM
We believe that when God’s people come together, they should be expressing joy to the God of their salvation. As such, our worship takes on the tenure of the Old and New Testaments, where the people of God expressed themselves with musical instruments, singing, dancing, clapping, lifting of hands, and other outward expressions of love and appreciation for God’s goodness in our lives. Everyone who comes to our meetings is encouraged to participate and freely express the joy they have received in being a part of the body of Christ.

This fellowship is for any young adult, going to school or working, married or single from ages ranging 18 to 30-ish. You do not have to be a member of NC4. Members of other churches are welcome. Anyone not currently attending a church is welcome too!
