Material and Physical Help

Deacons

Our deacons stand ready to minister to those within our congregation in need and distress, through help and service. Theirs is an office of sympathy and service, so if you are in need of physical or material help and would like to speak with one of our deacons, they would be pleased to serve you. Request support from the deacons here.

If you would like to assist the deacons in caring for the congregation, please share more about your areas of interest by completing a survey.

Care Team

The women’s ministry care team is comprised of volunteers who want to provide encouragement and support to anyone in the NPC family. Some examples of the tangible types of support provided: babysitting, taking meals to someone, cooking freezer meals for future use, cleaning, and providing transportation. Contact the care team.

Spiritual Help and Counsel

Counseling

The “cure of souls” is how saints of old used to describe one facet of pastoral ministry.  We still consider that indispensable—bringing the gospel to bear on the lives of sinners and sufferers. If you’re needing pastoral counsel, contact Pastor Davy.

For those seeking professional counseling services, we commend Cross Care Counseling, a counseling group that seeks to be an extension of the local church through biblical counseling.

Shepherding

Shepherding is at the heart of what it looks like to be an elder. That's why in the Bible, elders are enjoined to "shepherd the flock of God that is among you" (1 Peter 5:2) and to "pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood" (Acts 20:28).

Caring for the spiritual welfare of the church and walking alongside members through joys and trials, sins and struggles, is at the heart of our elders' calling. Contact the elders here.

Prayer and Encouragement
