Donuts with Dad - Trick Your Ride
Saturday, August 8, 9:00 am
Dads, bring your kids to this fun event. Help your kids in creating/picking their coolest looking toy vehicle or decorating their bike for a cool ride. An object-lesson devotion time will be included that you will be able to share with your kid(s). While you are there, you can also check out the cool cars as part of the Cars and Coffee classic car event.
Calling all kid car customizers! Bring your favorite toy cars and bikes to the ultimate ride makeover event, happening right alongside the classic cars at Cars and Coffee. It's time to trick out your ride and show the world what you've got!
What's happening:
Toy Car Customization Showcase – Roll in with your most tricked-out toy cars and trucks. Whether you've souped them up with custom paint, cool stickers, or just love how they look stock, bring your ride to show off to fellow car fanatics.
Bike Bling Contest – Transform your bike into a showstopper! Deck it out with streamers, spoke beads, chalk art, lights, or anything that makes it pop. The wilder the upgrade, the better — let's see your imagination in overdrive.
Need for Speed Race Tracks – Head over to the race tracks built for rides of every size, from pocket-sized hot rods to bigger cruisers. Rev up, line up, and race to the finish line!
Every rider drives home a winner – Every kid who participates gets a gift just for showing up and showing off their ride.
COMING SOON
Youth Pastor Candidate
The Elders and Strategic Staffing Team will be hosting a Youth Pastor Candidate, Rickey Hawks, the weekend of 8/15/26 for some in person interviews with the leadership team. If the Elders believe he is the right candidate we will be bringing he and his family back for a broader candidating weekend. In addition to the interviews, he will be attending the Touch-A-Tractor event and the Saturday and Sunday services.
Women’s Brunch
Join us as we kick off the ministry year with a brunch on August 29 from 9am-11am. Come to enjoy fellowship, worship, a fun breakfast bar, and testimonies about the unshakable hope we have in Christ! Don't miss it! "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…" Hebrews 6:19a
Women’s Bible Study
The Christian life is not always easy, but following Christ is worth the cost. He is better than anything this world can offer—a better Redeemer, Shepherd, and Ruler. Those who trust Him find fullness of joy now and forever. Join us this fall as we study Hebrews verse by verse, exploring the superiority of Christ. Author Lydia Brownback will guide us into the rich character of God and deep gospel truths, encouraging us to trust in the unshakable hope we have in Christ. Tuesdays at 9:15am or 6pm.
Gathering Table
The Gathering Table is an opportunity for the women of NCC to create deeper relationships with each other. Women will gather together once a month for a meal and fellowship. You will be grouped with others that have the same availability and have a chance to meet new people within the NCC church body. Group sizes are typically 5-6 women. After registration, a host will reach out to the group and each group will pick the dates they would like to meet together. Please email Women’s Ministry if you are interested in hosting! Registration will be open through August 23.
Bridge Kids registration is open for the 2026-27 season!
Bridge Kids is NCC’s weekly, Wednesday night discipleship program for kids! Each week is filled with fun, games, Bible learning, and Scripture memory.
