Prayer

Prayer at NCC is not just an activity that we do,
it defines who we are.

Prayer is how we connect and grow in friendship with God. It’s in prayer that we are healed and set free. Through prayer, we get to partner with God’s heart, love and purposes to see His kingdom come to our lives and the lives of our families, neighbors and nations.

Every Jesus-follower has been invited into a unique, one-on-one relationship with God through prayer. We encourage you to be spending regular quality time hearing from and talking with God every day. As part of the NCC family, here are other ways you can engage with prayer. Questions? Please email [email protected].

  • Learn How to Pray

    New to praying? Here’s a short script you can follow.
    Greet God – Remember, you are talking to a person. How might you address God? God. Father. Friend. Almighty. Holy. Savior. Redeemer. You may address Him differently depending on what you want to talk to Him about.
    Express Gratitude – Tell Him what you are thankful for.
    Request Help – Tell Him what you are concerned about. Remember, the simple phrase “help me” is sometimes the most powerful and honest prayer you can pray.
    Listen – Jesus wants to talk to you! Prayer should never be a one-way monologue but an on-going conversation, and that means we have to pause long enough to listen. While His voice is often inaudible, it comes to us in unmistakable ways—first and foremost in the Bible but also in feelings deep in our gut and the voices of friends who follow Him.  

    Prayer training is offered through these small groups.
