    This is thee best church I've ever attended! Pastor Andrew Murch delivers the message straight from…read morethe Bible... no opinions or anything except the Word. He's honest, emotional, light hearted and funny. The people of the church are so welcoming and giving. I was fully embraced and am so loved. I was invited to a home group right away... and everyone in the group feel and act like extended family. The Work Project team come to my home once a month to care for my yard or any need I may have for repairs in my home and such... and it's all voluntary. I cannot say enough about this church... Thank you Lord for leading me to such a beautiful place. PS... my favorite thing is the music and singing... but I'm disappointed in the songs they sing. The music director needs to listen to Christian stations to get in the know of what popular songs are. I suggest 96,3 (Worship 24/7)

    I will echo the sentiment that this church does have a great preacher. Andrew is…read morethoughtful/articulate/educated/relatable in his preaching style and message. We do appreciate that he uses the Bible to back up everything that he teaches. With that said the Church's response (or lack there of) to our experience with a member of the congregation is absolutely deplorable, and sounds eerily similar to other's experiences. This needs to be called out and addressed and most importantly others need to be made aware of this, especially prospective new attendees. My family and I had been attending NGC regularly for the past year or so. We always enjoyed the message and praise and worship, and felt the church was welcoming. Then end of 11/2025, we suffered a very troubling experience with a fellow attendee. We arrived to the 10:30 AM service about 15 minutes into the singing (sermon had not began as of yet). 3 of us noticed some empty seats in the upper left section. Went over and asked the gentleman sitting closest to end if those seats were taken. He looked over at me (we are interracial couple)...and loudly said "you are late." I was dumbfounded and thought he was joking. I said "huh?." He repeated himself and said "you are 20 minutes late." Shook his head in anger/annoyance and let me and my wife and young son through. During this 1 minute exchange not one person in the congregation said anything they just stared at us and him. We sat there with our first thought that we need to leave immediately. Then after further reflection we decided "no" we wont let one unhappy/hurtful person ruin our worship. We were there to praise God. We sat through...as soon as the sermon was over this individual immediately took off without a word. That night I went on the NGC website to try to contact either Pastor Andrew or Pastor Ryan (he had spoken that day). We found this odd and disheartening, as other churches we had been to always allowed their pastors to be accessible. Neither of them had their email address or phone number available on the NGC website. Instead there was a general inquiry email contact. I sent out a message to this alias. The message we got from the Office Assistant 2 days later was "Thanks for your email. I understand you would like to get in contact with Pastor Ryan or Pastor Andrew regarding an incident from yesterday. If you could give a little more detail, that would be helpful for me to figure out who would be best to put you in contact with. Please feel free to call Thanks!" I wrote back that we had to hear back from the pastoral team regarding our concerns. Additionally a lot of what we heard from both pastor Ryan and pastor Andrew was how it is integral to the church community/pastoral team to connect regarding any concerns or for council. Accordingly we found the lack of response/accessibility of your pastoral team to be quite troubling. What my family and I experienced on Sunday at NGC was very concerning and despite the size of NGC, we just assumed it would be treated with the same level of concern as the Pastoral team. We were then told to speak with the Congregational Care Pastor despite our insistence that we wanted to speak with pastors who's message we heard every Sunday. The Pastor however apparently had an email that didn't work (despite the church having the technology live stream all their services). We followed back up with the Front Office Assistant on 1/5 as following sermon from Pastor Ryan about how we as a Church are compelled by God to be welcoming to all and to compel unlikely guests to enter God's great banquet, we were again reminded of the discouragement we felt that the Church's message on Sunday did not match with Church's actions. We reiterated that when we first attempted to contact Pastor Andrew/Pastor Ryan back on 11/30, we were disappointed by the lack of response/accessibility to the individuals we hear every Sunday espousing the value of accessibility and being available for council/advice to the Congregation. Following Pastor Ryan's latest message regarding being Welcome/Inviting as a church, we continue to feel repercussions from the event from 11/30 and the inability for us to still not have a meeting with Pastor Andrew or Pastor Ryan to discuss our concerns, is very disappointing. The response we got on 1/14 was the most telling about how this church handles concerns with their attendees. Again the Front Office assistant wrote... "Pastor Andrew and Pastor Ryan have very limited availability to meet. Pastor Darryl is the most appropriate person to meet with you and is well positioned to listen to your concerns and work toward addressing them. If you would like to proceed, you may contact him directly." Very very disappointed in this Church and lack of response/care. I wanted to take the time to put this review together to warn others of the Church's response to situations and their need to gatekeep their pastors.
