Nor Cal Impact

Nor Cal Impact is a training ground for ministry focusing on providing an atmosphere where students can meet ‘face to face’ with God. We desire to reach people for Jesus, because if we don’t reach them, who will? NCI is not only for those who desire full time ministry, but for those who desire to pursue Jesus and then make him known to the world. We are excited to offer hands on guidance and training with our students. Whether you choose vocational ministry or any other career path, becoming a committed disciple of Christ will enable you to excel in life. This is an ideal environment in which to become that disciple.

NCI will give you the opportunity to experience God’s creation on so many levels. You’ll work hard, pray hard, and play hard. It all starts in September and concludes with a graduation ceremony in May.



WHAT WE DO

1. Personal Discipleship. The most important component of Nor Cal Impact is the focus upon each student’s personal discipleship. Many colleges and internships focus heavily on “doing” and “thinking” but don’t concentrate on who the student is “becoming”. This is not the case with NCI. Students are regularly encouraged and challenged to move to new levels of faith, excellence and righteousness in their private and public lives. This personal discipleship comes from interaction with pastors, NCI staff, and church Lay leaders. Discipleship also occurs as students learn to support one another and hold each other accountable.

2. Curricular Studies. All studies will be through the Pentecostal Church of God, Ministers Bible Studies or Messenger College Online, depending on your budget. We highly encourage all of our students to take advantage of this time to pursue some type of academic training. Through instruction, dialogue, debate, reading, personal study, memorization and meditation, students sharpen their understanding of effective ministry.

3. Hands on Ministry Training. Students spend a great deal of time each week serving in various ministry capacities around the church. They are involved in up-front ministry and behind-the-scenes ministry.

You could be involved in some of these ministries: Adopt-a-block, Neighborhood Watch Programs, Food Ministry, Food Pantry Ministry, Small Groups, Teaching, Preaching, Kids Ministry, Youth Ministry, Street Ministry, Servant Evangelism, School Ministry, Assimilation Ministry, Dream Team Ministry, Growth Track Ministry, Prostitution Ministry, Facelift with Jesus Ministry, Homeless Ministry and SO MUCH MORE!
