"What does love look like?  It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like."   —Saint Augustine

Love & Dignity

Our first commitment and belief is that every person who we come in contact with is made for love: both to be loved by others and to give love toward others. We also believe that all who walks through our doors are profoundly marked by dignity, having been made in the image of God. But we are all, at the same time, shackled with struggle because of the brokenness that exists both inside and outside of us. And this brokenness has distorted the love we were meant to give and receive into the shapes of abuse and shame. Our goal at NCC is to work with our clients at exposing and honestly facing the brokenness in their lives, in order to then expose and face the beauty that has been marred or covered. We are a group of fellow strugglers, who have been gifted and equipped to serve in the particular calling of meeting people in the midst of their psychological and relational pain. Our hope is that the people we are privileged to work with will experience healing and new degrees of wholeness and freedom, with the ultimate goal of loving God, neighbor, and themselves more deeply.
