X-Focused Ministries
Northeast is a church that not only serves inside our church walls but also takes the lead in serving others outside our church within our community. We exist internally but are externally focused. We want to be engaged in the life of our community and we invite you to team up with us!
If you are interested in serving in any of these ministries, please contact Randy Gordon at randy.gordon@necchurch.org or the coordinating leaders listed below.
