What People Say


I wanted a place to ask the harder, tougher questions about God and spiritual life.
I wanted a place to connect with people that was honest with the good,
the bad and the ugly. I wanted a place to discover what gifts I had to offer others.
I found these at NRCC.

 

 

I’m a scientist. For me, science and religion need to comfortably coexist, which requires a less dogmatic view of Christianity and the Bible. I found that at NRCC.

 

 

 

NRCC has been a soft place for me to land. We came here during a time of difficult transition for us as a family. We found a place where we would not be judged but supported, we could be transparent in our struggles and with our questions, and we found people who wanted to love us and who would let us love them. We found community.

 

 

At NRCC our spiritual strategy isn’t very complicated. We simply listen for and follow the inner Voice of God. This allows God’s truth to be integrated into our lives. This simple approach has had a huge impact on my humanity.

 

 

 

This community welcomed my children into the world, celebrated new life with us, and is making church a positive experience for them. My kids are learning to experience God and learn about him, without indoctrinating them.

 

 

 

I appreciate NRCC because there are no church politics. People are honest, the lessons are candid, and interaction is welcomed. It’s just as safe to ask for help on a taboo subject as it is for a socially acceptable one. We’re real. NRCC feels less like church and more like the den in my father's home. I can invite friends, put my feet on the furniture, eat on the couch, and discuss things that are important.

 

My soul found a home at NRCC. I've found loving, caring, reciprocal, spiritual friendships at NRCC. I learn, I’m encouraged, and I grow spiritually. I've found what God has called me to do and the people He wants me to do them for and with at NRCC.

NRCC is not a burden. Opportunities to participate and serve are announced, but not pressured. The church feels like a gracious host: there is a kind atmosphere, and I feel that I receive more than I give.

 



Forgive me for sounding sensationalistic, but NRCC has transformed my life! It’s entirely changed my perception of God. I am no longer oppressed by a dogmatic religion but my spirituality has become my experience of God. I am so grateful I found NRCC.

 

 

 

What I appreciate most about NRCC is the breadth of diversity in background of its members. All opinions are respected, and tolerance goes well beyond "putting up with" one another. Everyone is accepted in their current condition, their strengths are appreciated and they are encouraged in their weaknesses

 



I felt unconditionally received at NRCC without feeling that anybody would try and fix me, or that I’d have to spend a lot of effort changing in order to be received.

 

 

 

At NRCC, we don't have it all together, but I'd like to think we have the foundation right. Our focus is upon pursuing authentic relationships - with one another and with God. With that as a foundation, we trust the rest to take care of itself.

Personally, my performance orientation is high, and it bleeds into every aspect of my life. My journey while at NRCC has been about discovering "who I am" apart from "what I do", and NRCC provides an environment well-suited for this unfolding process.
