IMPORTANT UPDATES
New NCC Logo
The elders, along with the NCC Design Team, have agreed on a new logo for Northbridge Community Church. We are excited to move forward as a merged congregation with a new design that represents our love for Christ, our community, and each other!
With this change, there will also be updates to some of our communications processes and how the new design will be incorporated into our displayed and printed materials.
More information to follow.

For those parking in the back, north parking lot of the church on Sunday mornings, the back door, Door 1, will be unlocked until about 9:45am. At that time it will be locked by one of the safety team members and the front doors will be the only doors open for access.
