You know why a court exists. You know why a hockey rink exists. You know why roads exist, but why does the church exist? More specifically, what is NAC supposed to do? On Sunday we begin to refresh ourselves with our mission and vision and getting back to the core of why we exist. Our mission should never just be words on a wall. Our new series, God’s Assignment to NAC, kicks off the start of the new ministry season with “Be an Inviting Church.”
