It’s difficult on a web site to express what NLC is actually like, but if our church could be summed up in just a few words, these are the ones we’d choose: 

Holy Spirit-led: we try to follow the Holy Spirit in whatever we do, both in our daily lives and in our meetings together. That means that what God says, goes.  Anything can happen!

Worship-minded: we are here to serve and worship God. We pray that our Sunday meetings are not performances, nor are bound by convention. Our hope is that they are the exuberant overflow of open hearts worshipping God.

Family-centred: the idea of family runs through everything we do.  NLC is built on strong relationships between caring people living, laughing and crying with eachother. Just like a family!

Youth-focussed: children are not the future of Christ’s kingdom; they are the present, with fresher legs!  God has blessed us greatly in our work with local youth, particularly through our TRIBE youth group, and we have learned so much from them!

Accountable: NLC is accountable to, and guided by, the Lifelink International group of churches.

Local-hearted: although we come from all over Cambridge, and much of what we do concerns the whole of God's creation, we are particularly focussed on the twin villages of Histon & Impington, where we work closely with our friends in the other churches.

Outward-looking: our focus is not just local; through Lifelink International we serve and support needs within and well beyond the UK.

Different: well, all churches say that, don’t they? We believe that in NLC, God is building something special.  A church that meets on a Sunday afternoon, so that our kids can play football on Sunday mornings?  That's pretty different!

But don't just take our word for it -  come and meet with us and see for yourself!
