Kids & Youth

from NCC 2021 Annual Report

Missions

“My four-year-old daughter, McKayla, often asks to watch the ‘NCC Kids’ app on TV no matter what day it is or how many times she has seen it. She loves the music and dances along. We go to church in person, but I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the NCC kids staff who are still making the videos for people who are virtual and even those who enjoy it through the week. Thank you for speaking life and Godly values into our kids!”

NCC KIDS

The mission of NCC Kids is to partner with parents to help kids to grow to be fully devoted followers of Christ–with a passion for His Word, an excitement about His church, and a commitment to serving His people. NCC Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade.

NCC Kids relaunched with in-person services in March at Capitol Hill, celebrated a grand opening of the Kids Hall at the Capital Turnaround, and relaunched in person services in September at NoVA and Lincoln. Families are returning in strong numbers with kids attendance running at least 30% of adult service attendance. NCC Kids continues to offer an online experience for families and provided the Baseline discipleship class via Zoom.

This December NCC Kids presented a new event called Christmas Village at Capital Turnaround and hosted 2,000 kids and family members.

NCC YOUTH

Our mission is for students to experience intimacy with God, community with believers, and influence in their world. Our goal is to equip students with a strong faith foundation and a personal relationship with Jesus that is expressed fluently in their daily lives.

This year NCC Youth welcomed two new youth pastors, Pastor Collin Savage and Pastor Mandy Monson. As NCC Youth returned to in-person gatherings and events this year, we served our community for Missions Month, welcomed home 85 students and leaders at the Youth Kick-Off, danced all night at the Youth Late Night, and even collaborated with the Museum of the Bible to create a piece of artwork on display for the Christmas season.
