Freedom Ministries

We seek to introduce all new members to our Freedom Ministry through a study, which helps lead them to a full understanding of the implications of what Jesus meant when He said, “You must be born again.” Freedom Ministries is about helping people come to knowledge of their true identity in Christ. 

Jesus said in John 8:32 “When you know the truth, the truth will set you free.” NRCC has several trained “encouragers” who work with those struggling against the chains of sin to help them find the complete Freedom that Jesus died to give them. 

Marriage Savers/ Marriage Mentors

NRCC has entered into covenant with some 150 area churches to work together to decrease the divorce rate in Hamilton county. Marriage Savers churches are deeply concerned about the rising failure of marriages in our community and nationally. We have agreed together to perform weddings only for engaged couples who agree to the following conditions:

  • A thorough premarital counseling and preparation period ideally extending over a four month period
  • Involvement in a premarital inventory and assessment tool to be reviewed together with the minister
  • Premarital chastity
  • At least one post-marital counseling session and review every six months after the wedding for two years.

 

In the past two years, the divorce rate in Hamilton County has dropped by over 19%.

Missions
Evangelism is a priority for NRCC. We currently send over 19% of our total budget to missions both at home and overseas. We also send people from this congregation into the mission field on short-term trips to teach, to preach, and to work.
