NCF was formed in June 1996 by God and founded by twenty-five born again believers from various cultures and denominations. We have steadily grown since then which is why we built our new 700 seat worship center situated on an 18 acre campus at 1326 N. Moore Rd.

Our purpose originates from Ephes. 2:8-10 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Individuals are invited to enter into a relationship with Jesus that is both real and personal and is characterized by faith, obedience, and commitment. The result of this relationship is "good works." God prepared a plan for each of us in advance. The surest way to know if we are walking in that plan is to study the Bible.
