Our Pastor

Jeremy Pastor (yup, that's also his last name) has been the Lead Pastor of NCC since March of 2008.

He and Charis have been very happily married for 6 years, and in April of 2009 they welcomed a little boy, Ryland, to their family.  Pastor Jeremy enjoys Starbucks coffee, spending lots of time with Charis, movies, reading, vintage t-shirts, blogging, mountain biking, basketball, hanging with NCCers, and long walks on the beach.  He dislikes cold weather, pickles, sharks, boring church services, most cats, and bad coffee.

Pastor Jeremy's vision for NCC is that it will be an authentic and exciting church where people truly experience Jesus Christ, are transformed by His love and are then engaged in making a difference int he world.  He believes that none of us are perfect, and that the church should be a place of hope, love, faith, and freedom where people can come just as they are, without having to put on a show or pretend to have it all together.

Pastor Jeremy enjoys technology, so you can connect with him on Twitter, Facebook, or over at his blog.  You can also e-mail him at: jpastor@nccbluesprings.org or listen to past messages from Pastor Jeremy.
