Prayer, Bless, Jesus

For the past several years, we have been on a journey to increase our impact in the local community, and we have encouraged our people to adopt three missional disciplines that we can Pray, Bless, Jesus. By committing ourselves to these three disciplines, we have seen God work in and through us in amazing ways to engage and impact ourselves and our community.

We pray daily to gain a deeper knowledge of Christ’s love and for the opportunity to share it with others.

BLESS

Once a week we attempt to share the kindness that we have received from God with others in a tangible way, and

Our Denomination

NPC is part of the fast-growing Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The EPC is a young denomination of churches and people who take the authority of Jesus through the Bible seriously and have embraced the Lord’s command to care about those outside the church as well. Our denominational motto says, IN ESSENTIALS…UNITY; IN NON-ESSENTIALS…LIBERTY; IN ALL THINGS…CHARITY.

We are “evangelical” in that we hold to the historic and Biblical good news about God, Jesus and the hope of eternal life. We are “Presbyterian” because we are committed to a Biblical form of government that insists on a plurality of elders leading the local church. It also means that we believe the teachings of the Bible are accurately summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
