3. Our Purpose: Why do we exist?
NCC is a worshiping community
that exists to make the Gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ known
among all the people of Calgary
in the hope of seeing the joy and peace
of Christ’s Kingdom come to our great city.
4. Our Dream: What do we hope
to accomplish?
NCC seeks to establish a network of
new churches that will articulate and
embody the historic Christian faith in
order to bring about the spiritual, social,
and cultural renewal of Calgary--and
through it, the world.

...from an initial core of ~ 35- 40 people to
over 100 in weekly worship (~ 150+ on our
list)
