At NRCC we believe the time for impacting the lives of youth is now. We strongly believe they can experience God today. It's His desire, it's ours. So we tell them they don't have to wait until they are "grown-up" to encounter Him and His work in them; now is the time.
Youth Values
The central issue of our youth ministry is personal encounter with the God who is alive in and among us. We pray, teach, and lead toward this, and we rely upon God to actualize it among us.
Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
Psalm 105:4
We work to create a safe enviroment where youth feel free to be real and loved. Rather than emphasizing fitting in, we view individuality as a reflection of God's glory.
We desire for those who know the Lord to grow in Him. For those who don't know Him, we trust God to reveal himself in His timing and His perfect way.
We desire to be set apart. After much discussion, prayer and reflection, the youth chose to name their group, Redefined.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test what God's will is - His good, pleasing will.
Romans 12:2
We desire to have fun....Christians can be fun!
