Building a Better Team
On our journey to organizational health, the NCC employees recently participated in two events that built teamwork and connections.

A team-building day at the NCC headquarters included games and exercises that encouraged problem solving, communication, and even good, ole competition for points.  

According to Albert Miller, superintendent of schools, and director of the day’s events, “I think we all got to know each other a bit more, and made strides to better serve each other and the territory.”  

The second event was a conference-wide picnic at Orangevale Elementary. Employees and their families were treated to excellent food prepared by Pathfinders and carnival style games for all.  

Members of the NCC leadership team took turns in the dunk tank while kids AND coworkers took aim.

According to Marc Woodson, NCC president, “I was dunked so many times, I think it might have been rigged!” 
Pastors are CALLED!
NCC pastors and their families recently joined thousands of ministers from the North American Division at the “CALLED” convention in Lexington, Kentucky.  

CALLED is a “camp meeting” planned and focused specifically for pastors and their families.

According to Jose Marin, executive secretary of the NCC, “It is a powerful event for strengthening pastoral calls to ministry, and it provides a space to connect with friends in ministry and share stories and faith.” 

A very meaningful presentation was the 30 years of service medallions where several NCC pastors received the honor including, Marc Woodson and Jim Lorenz.

Woodson said of the honor, “I’ve always seen this honor as the older guard getting rewarded, but now that I’m here it has a very special meaning.”
