There is yet room in the company of churches signing on for the Acts 16:5 Initiative for more congregations.  Even if you have not attended previous sessions, the April 19 event is open for you! 

 

Together we will be learning how to shape our ministries around our deepest hopes for our churches and our deepest reliance upon God’s grace.  For any church seeking how to navigate through the turbulence of our post modern culture… this is your chance to travel the path with brothers and sisters from across NCP.

Celebrating our life as a community of faith 

 

 

Partnership:

 Our visit to the Congo in July 2006 was an opportunity to affirm our partnership with brothers and sisters with whom we have covenanted to undertake new mission work, and share our common witness to the love of Jesus Christ for all the world.  The most powerful expression of this friendship was the thrilling experience of worshipping together in singing, praying, dancing, breaking bread and meeting members of the many churches (parishes) in Kananga Presbytery.  Our visit reminded the struggling congregation of Kananga that we have not forgotten their plight.  We stand with them in their witness and together we will pray for a more peaceable kingdom on this earth. 

 

 

 

 

 

We are 55 congregations and connected ministries on a mission to share God's hope for the world!
