About CNC
The Church at North Center is a future church plant in North Chicago. We believe that the way that God expands his kingdom in this world is through the multiplication of disciples which will result in the multiplication of churches.
When we think about Chicago, we envision a city made up of thousands of people who will be transformed, one by one, by the redemption found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe this will happen as God sends laborers to that great city to plant gospel-centered, Bible saturated, Christ-exalting churches. That is why in the spring of 2012 we will uproot our lives and move there to plant CNC for the good of the city and the glory of God.
