As a church family we are involved in many different parts of our society. In this section find out a bit more about what we do and the communities we belong to and support.
We very strongly believe that we need to work together with different churches in the area and have great links built out of relationship with churches in Histon, Cambridge and the surrounding area. We work alongside other organisations regionally, nationally and internationally, seeking to support them in their work. These are a few we have strong links with:
Lifelink International is an inter-dependent network of churches across the world, who have chosen to work together for their mutual benefit. Each member church is unique, with its own character and calling, but by working together the network as a whole is able to to achieve common goals more readily.
Each member church benefits from shared ministry resources, especially in the area of leadership training, youth and children’s work. Gifted and experienced leaders can enrich congregations beyond their own, and all leaders in the network can offer and receive encouragement through times of fellowship and prayer together.
In addition to the strengtheneing of local churches, the network and its affiliates are actively engaged in foreign missions, as well as in international training, relief and development work. Every year sees opportunities for service in both short-term projects and long-term programmes. In addition to Lifelink (a network of churches), there are training (colleges working together) and humanitarian aid (O2H) arms which together make up the Global Horizons Trust.

Carole Rawley, one of NLC’s pastors, is also on the the Board of Executives for Cambridge and District Youth for Christ (YFC). We are also part of Hope Revolution, where youth leaders from around the city see how they can work better together.
YFCone is the name of the Youth for Christ’s Gap Year team, which is brought together to share the gospel with the young people of Britain.
Utilising different people’s gifts in one team enables YFCone to bring a unique and united approach to mission and evangelism. It’s exciting to see young people who are gifted in music, sport, leadership, dance, communication and drama, develop and use these gifts over their gap year to present to good news of Jesus to others.
