Youth Ministries

The purpose of NCC Youth Ministries is to provide positive avenues by which young people are empowered to develop their minds and hearts.

C.A.P.S. College Assistance and Program Services. CAPS is a program for young adults graduating from high school to the age of 24. CAPS participants receive a mentor, a college box (that contains school supplies, snacks, and hygiene products), refurbished computers (as donated), cars (as donated), and some financial assistance (as donations permit).

Club Rec Is a recreational ministry for youth and adults. Children participate in various organized after school recreational activities. The activities range from basketball, dance, board games, to team building activities. Adult men are offered an opportunity to play basketball on Monday Nights for a small fee.

Education The Learning Centers assist children with their homework and/or the children are given worksheets or books to read. We have seven Learning Center locations (Greenbriar, Pershing Park, Chickasaw Place, Robin hood, North Center, Messiah Fellowship and New Era)

Tutoring We have four one-on-one tutoring locations (Second Pres., Evergreen Pres., Emanuel, North Center). Children are paired with volunteers from the community that assist them with homework and troubled learning areas. Volunteers are needed to remove children from the waiting list.

T.R.U.T.H. (Teens Receiving Understanding Through Him) Seekers Is a bible study structured for young people. The lessons are interactive and high energy. Children ages 5-11 attend Junior Truthseekers. Children ages 12-17 attend Senior Truthseekers. Children who continue to attend Truthseekers while in the 10th -12th grade may become eligible for the Truthseeker scholarship.
