It's exciting to see such a diverse group of people committed to NLC's growing ministries like the children, youth, and Celebrate Recovery, as well as our care ministries and global connections.

Please keep these people in prayer. And continue to feel free to contact the Elders with questions about the process. In time the team will begin sharing their progress and  specific requests for prayer.
