Unplugged
Unplugged Weekends: October 1st
Unplugged is a relaxed no-frills, weekend that will provide an opportunity for church planters and leadership teams to get an in-depth, behind the scenes look at National Community Church. Attendance will be limited, but the Q & A time won't.
Hear the inside scoop from the NCC leadership team on how they: launch new locations; disciple and create community in a multi-site and theater church setting; provide ministry for kids and families in mobile environments; cultivate a missional community through local and overseas outreach; and much, much more. Visit one of NCC's six locations and meet with campus pastors and ministry volunteers.
Unplugged will be held at Ebenezers Coffeehouse, which also serves as one of NCC's locations. On Sunday, attendees will have the opportunity to attend a location of their choice and meet with its campus pastor and ministry volunteers.
