The foundation and history of NCC is formed by three Protestant denominations: The United Church of Christ, The United Methodist Church, and the American Baptist Church. We welcome and affirm all people into all aspects of church life and membership, regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, marital status, physical or mental abilities, theological perspective or denominational affiliation. As a community of faith we learn from one another and grow in our faith, acknowledging we are not all at the same place on our individual journeys of life.
