While all congregations are welcome to take advantage of the congregational survey & analysis provided by NCD, pastors & lay leaders must attend a training weekend. The next training is March 8 and 9, in St. Charles IL (registration is now open). When our churches reach new demographics and connect with “Nones”, we want people to encounter healthy, vital congregations. Natural Church Development (NCD) is designed to help all churches increase their health and to leverage their strengths.
