WHAT WE BELIEVE
​
-
Jesus Christ is the one and only sacrifice for our sins and He arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8; John 3:16)
-
The Bible is the inspired Word of God – a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:10)
-
Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
-
Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)
-
Those willing to obey Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him for forgiveness of sins. (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38)
-
The church is the Body of Christ on earth. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to love others in Jesus' name. (Ephesians 4:1-16)
-
Through Christ, all of creation will one day be reconciled to God. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

WHAT TO EXPECT
​
WORSHIP AT NCOC. We seek to encounter God’s presence when we come together in worship. Our worship is filled with praise, scripture, communion, and prayer. We seek to glorify our God while also building each other up. Anyone and everyone is welcome at NCOC. Come as you are and experience Jesus with us!
​
COMMUNION. We share in communion every week. In taking the bread that represents the body of Jesus and the cup that represents his blood, we remember and celebrate Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. Anyone who wants to celebrate God's love through Jesus is welcome to join us in taking communion.
​
THE OFFERING. We don’t pass the plate at NCOC. Most members give by mailing in checks or by setting up regular contributions through online bill-pay. Be watching for our online giving app coming soon. There is also a box at the door for anyone who ones to make a contribution in-person. We expect our members to support the work of the church financially. We don’t ask our guests to contribute. However, if you’d like to, we promise to do our best to use it to love God and love our neighbor.
​
THE MESSAGE. NCOC believes it is important to deliver relevant and applicable lessons that are helpful to daily life and true to God’s Word. Whether you’re young or old, seeking Christ for the first time, or a longtime Christian, there’s something in the lesson for you.
​
PRAISE. One of the unique things about NCOC is that the music is ‘a cappella,’ meaning that we sing without musical instruments. We love the beauty and joy of worshiping God from our hearts with our voices. We believe you will find the singing meaningful and uplifting, with everyone invited to participate.
​
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Every member of your family is welcome in our family! We have classes every Sunday for kids from infant through high school. These classes meet at 9:30, before worship. A children's worship time and a fully attended nursery for infants and toddlers is provided during our 10:30 a.m. worship time. ​​
