Growing Pains: The Challenges of Scale
Acts 6:1-7

Each Stage of Growth Brings a New Set of Challenges

Neglect Happens in Loving Community Because of Lacking Systems, Not Lack of Concern

The More a Church Grows, the More Ministry Requires Focus to be Effective

Unhealthy expectations are a peril to the minister, the church and the world.

The best ministers are those “among you.”

Pastoral care at NC4 is "everyone’s responsibility and everyone’s privilege."

Salvation Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for drawing me to Yourself from my darkness, my sin, and my shame. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. I welcome You into my heart, and I surrender my future into Your hands. Guide me by Your Holy Spirit, and help me to be a reflector of Your light to those around me. Thank You for including me in Your family. Amen
