SUNDAY SERVICES

We know it's a big deal to walk into church. We’re not going to bombard you. Just come as you are (think casual attire) and relax. The morning is our gift to you. And we mean it!
Grab a free coffee & sit wherever you want.
If you have kids (birth through 5th grade), they are more than welcome to check out Kids Zone. Open during the 9 a.m. service.
Enjoy the music and & the message (we keep it to 60 minutes or less!)
If you need anything, just head to Guest Services and we’ll help you any way we can!
Stay for another cup of coffee or bolt (we know you have places to go!)
Sunday Extras
Faith is not just a Sunday thing. This is our invitation to lean in a little closer. How can you practice what you are learning? What are some small tiny changes you can make so God can bring out the best in you? Welcome to Sunday Extras. Each week, we’ll provide you with a summary of the sermon and a daily dose of short messages that challenge you to think, live and grow.
Worship Night

This is the mid-week break you need. If you love the music at NEC and crave a reprieve from the daily grind, you should be here. Join us the 2nd Wednesday of every month for Worship Night - an evening of LOTS of great music, prayer, scripture and reset. It’s an hour that will make the rest of your week SO much better. Next one 12/10.

Wicked Smaaht: Sunday School for Grown Ups
Every Sunday @ 10:30 a.m. in Big Kids Zone
Do you like knowing the why's, when's, and how's? Most of Christianity is pretty easy to understand. God loves you, Christ died for you, the Holy Spirit is there to guide you. Easy! But there are also some crunchy bits. How was the Bible formed? Who wrote the book of Genesis? What was Jesus' theology? Is the church the same now as it was in Paul's time? If you want to explore the deeper parts of the faith, join us on Sunday mornings for a new, reimagined, and ongoing WICKED SMAAHT!
THEOLOGY LAB
Next Session is March 1, 8, & 15
at 10:30 in BKZ
Theology Lab2: Politics and Jesus Politics is everywhere, and Christians often feel caught between conviction and division. In this three-week lab, Pastor Cliff invites you to step back from modern categories and to listen to Jesus on his own terms. Meeting on the first three Sundays of March, we’ll explore how Jesus spoke about power, authority, loyalty, and the kingdom of God within the political realities of his world—and how hearing those words with ancient ears of faith can help us think more clearly, faithfully, and charitably about political questions today. This is not a partisan forum, but a space for careful reflection, honest discussion, and deeper theological grounding. Come curious. Come thoughtful. Come ready to engage.
