Connection Point
Connection Point
This 4-week class will allow participants to see the mission, strategy, purpose, and vision for NMCC; cover the history of NMCC; and answer several questions as to why NMCC does what it does. In each session, we will dive into the four areas that describe the connection journey towards partner growth. Connection Point will explain what it means to Partner with NMCC, what is expected of our partners, and is a requirement to become a Partner.
Connection Point gives a sneak peek into the basic beliefs and practices of NMCC, equips you with the essentials of the Christian faith, and presents opportunities where you can get involved. Part of our requirement for being a partner with us is to go through our connection point class to help you understand everything you need to know about our church.
