NCCers are serving our city and around the world
Did you know that National Community Church has sent out and supports nearly 50 missionaries who are sons and daughters of this house? These NCCers discerned a missional calling on their lives and OBEYED. When NCCers receive a call to missions and GO, we release them—with joyful, prophetic expectation of how God will use their unique gifts to transform communities and nations for the sake of the gospel. And we continue to partner with them through ongoing prayer, love, and financial support.
Where is God calling you to GO?
NCC Global Partner Teams are small groups of individuals committed to learn together, serve together, and spread the gospel together to see God’s kingdom come in a designated part of the world.
Here’s how it works.
- Prayerfully consider the list below.
- Find the team(s) you want to explore and email that team leader to determine if this is the right fit for you.
- Once you’re approved to join the team, you’ll meet with your team in the months before the trip to learn about your partner and about the region you’ll be serving. You’ll spend focused time together praying and planning. NCC’s Managed Missions system provides a streamlined way to help you raise your support for the trip.
Our Experience Scale is designed to help you identify where you are on your missions journey and find a team that fits your background and comfort level.
- No experience required. Great for first-timers.
- Previously participated in a mission trip with NCC or other Christian organizations, either domestically or internationally.
- Prior experience in mission trips and have been exposed to different cultures either by traveling, hosting, or intercultural exchange.
- All of the above, plus regular engagement in multicultural relationships, and a profound understanding of cultural nuances.
- All of the above, plus strong background in missions, feel at ease in cross-cultural contexts, and have experience in humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, or working in challenging environments.
