NCPC History

Much has been done since plans for a new Presbyterian congregation began to materialize in early July 2007. A meeting site was obtained, chairs were purchased, a sound system was obtained, office space was made available, and energetic believers volunteered to do the numerous tasks necessary for a new congregation to get underway.

.
On July 29, 2007, a decision was made to seek affiliation with the Presbyterian Church in America. The congregation was received as a mission congregation of the PCA at the September 11, 2007 meeting of Grace Presbytery.
.
A full schedule of services is held each week. The women in the church have organized for service and fellowship. An adult choir is meeting on Wednesday nights. Weekly programs and classes are held for children and youth.
.
A membership roll of over one hundred members was established on Reformation Sunday, October 28. During the Fall, over twenty men met each week for eight weeks to study the doctrine and polity of the denomination of which NCPC is a member, the Presbyterian Church in America.
.
Elders were elected by the congregation on December 16, 2007. Deacons were elected in January, 2008. The congregation also voted in January to extend a call to Rev. Lane Stephenson to serve as pastor. NCPC's request to be received as a "particularized" (or "fully organized") church was approved by Grace Presbytery at its January 7 meeting. A Service of Organization was held Sunday, February 17. The congregation voted on May 18 to purchase 20.45 acres of property on Enterprise Road. We closed on the purchase of the property on June 10.
.
Much remains to be done! Ministry Teams (sometimes also known as "committees"!) have been organized to help further the work of the church. The building where NCPC meets is almost full. We are now developing plans for a phased, comprehensive building program.
.
It is truly an exciting time and a wonderful work to be a part of! God is doing a new thing and we are excited to be a part of His work. A great spirit is evident among the church family as we gather for worship on Sunday and for instruction and fellowship at other times throughout the week. While we have big plans and goals, we believe that God has even bigger purposes and plans than our own.
