National Community Church believes each person has incalculable worth, dignity, and potential.
We believe every individual life is worth living, and that God has a good plan for every person.
Since our very beginnings as a church, we have supported those who are most vulnerable—including pre-born children, women with unexpected pregnancies, and those who are oppressed or marginalized.

In this season of divisiveness, we reach for common ground. Below are a variety of responses through which we care for some of the most vulnerable in our community. 
Partner with us to help fill in some of the gaps—through counseling, resourcing for mothers and families, scholarshipping child care, mentoring youth, and providing a financial safety net to low-income communities. 

If you need a resource or have other resources to share, email Jill Carmichael.
