As an adult at NRCC…
You will be invited to explore your inner being.
Awareness and sensitivity to the Divine Spirit within us, the Inner Voice of God, are primal elements of a spiritual life.
We teach our children that “Jesus is in our hearts.” With our adults, we expand that simple truth to embrace the ancient Christian practices that awaken us to an interior spirituality.
As an adult at NRCC…
You will be invited into an environment that is less about making sure you believe the right stuff, and more about being strengthened for the journey.
We’re a spiritually diverse community. We’re Christian, but in our practice, we deemphasize orthodoxy, creed, or dogma, and are instead trying to find our place in the great God-Story that is always unfolding around us.

As an adult at NRCC…
You will be invited to belong.
It doesn’t matter to us where you are on the spiritual journey, how seasoned or new you are to faith, how much you have it together (or don’t). We will invite you to belong with us.
Belonging best happens when we become friends, so our hope is that you will find friendship here; spiritual, close, and perhaps even life-long friendships.
However, we know that friendships aren’t something that can be manufactured. They’re more like trees or flowers: They grow of their own accord. We can put seeds into soil, we can add water, but we can’t make them grow.
So, at NRCC we try to create spaces where people can find a way of belonging that is a fit for them.
Ways of belonging…
If you are comfortable belonging in a public way, we invite you to come on Sunday mornings, to listen, to observe, and to be one of us.
If you want to belong in a more social way, we invite you to eat with us. We eat a lot – potlucks, picnics, going out together. Our hope is that over a meal familiarity, trust, and even affection will grow.
If you want to belong in an even more intentional way, we’d love you to join us in one of our groups focused on sharing the spiritual journey together. We practice Christian meditation together, we study spirituality together, we do book clubs, several kinds of personal growth-groups, Life-Story and breathing groups.
We’d love you to join us on the spiritual journey.
