Statements & Search Criteria
Mission
The primary mission of the Neighborhood Christian Centers, Inc. is to guide those in need toward stability and
sustainability through compassionate, Christ-centered ministries and empowerment programs.
Background
The Neighborhood Christian Centers, Inc. (NCC), established in 1978, is a provider of numerous social services
for the economically disadvantaged, as well as for those in need of spiritual nurturing and counseling, and
educational/re-educational aids. The inner city of Memphis is in a destitute state, and many of the area outside
the inner-city are proving to be just as destitute. The need for the services that NCC provides is escalating. It is
our desire to empower family units, men, women and children while equipping them with the knowledge needed
to be productive citizens in the city of Memphis.
Impact
Our vision for NCC is a community that lives and proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By conducting ministry
that meets both practical and spiritual needs, we envision a transformation in the lives of those we serve, in
effect “changing a generation.” Since 1978, NCC has laid a strong foundation of ministry in our community, and
the coming years will build on that foundation to reach even more people by training likeminded churches and
individuals to carry out compassionate, Christ-centered ministry.
