New Partnership with Local Ministry
In July 2026, the NCCTK Missions Committee decided to officially begin partnering with All-Stars Club by providing not only the space for them to gather, but also by monthly financial support. All-Stars Club is a Christ-centered ministry creating a place where individuals with disabilities and their families are known, loved, and connected. They gather on the third Friday, every other month, starting in September, for an evening of fun, friendship, and faith. Each All-Star is paired with a volunteer who helps build meaningful relationships. Through activities like karaoke, adaptive sports, games, crafts, and snacks, they provide a safe and welcoming environment where everyone can be themselves, feel valued, and belong. Each evening ends with worship, a short message, and prayer.
One of the greatest blessings of All-Stars is seeing friendships grow beyond their gatherings. Volunteers and families have formed meaningful connections through everyday moments, attending events, and simply showing up for one another. These relationships remind us that true community is built through genuine connection and a sense of belonging.
Want to learn more or get involved? Whether you join as an All-Star, volunteer your time, or simply come alongside this ministry in prayer and support, there is a place for you at All-Stars. Come to the Student Center and join All-Stars for an evening of friendship, fun, worship, and community! For more information contact Jenna Acala at ncctk@allstarsclub.org
Project 92 “New Horizons” Dinner Event
Project 92, one of NCCTK's supported ministries, is focused on advancing the Good News of Jesus Christ to unreached peoples in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The ministry is based on Isaiah 9:2-”The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Advocacy, the mobilization of prayer, and the support of indigenous front-line ministries are all key facets to their work. It is Project 92’s prayer that Jesus will be made known to all unreached peoples, that many will come to faith, and that indigenous churches will be established among them.
You are invited to Project 92’s "New Horizons" dinner. Come hear about what God has done and is doing in Southeast Asia, with a spotlight on two new areas of pioneer ministry. Learn how you can encourage and strengthen Project 92's goals to support pioneer evangelism efforts.
When?: Thursday, September 3rd, doors open at 6pm.
Where?: NCCTK Family Room
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to: sandra.smith@ncctk.com (your name, and number of people in your party) and you will be included on a "reminder" distribution list.
God is at work in far-flung places and may He continue to use us increasingly in the days ahead to further His gospel even unto the distant lands that have not heard of His fame or seen of His glory!
A team from NCCTK will be traveling to Asuncion, Paraguay from October 1st-8th to partner with Diaconía in building up the local churches and communities that they work with. Diaconía is a Christian nonprofit that serves women and families in vulnerable situations through microfinance, spiritual support, and vocational training, creating opportunities for spiritual and lasting transformation.
Pastor Kurt will be ministering at two conferences for local pastors. Many pastors in Paraguay respond to a call from God, but have not received much training and encouragement, so this will be a very special event. Other team members will facilitate vocational training workshops in financial literacy, baking, coffee, photography, and sewing. The team will also visit local savings and trust groups and see the impact that sustainable transformation is creating. The trainings are great for mutual growth as they create opportunities for participants to learn practical skills while also allowing team members to interact and learn from the people they serve.

High School Youth Mission Trip to Tijuana
Our church was able to send a team of 29 participants made up of high school students, adult volunteer leaders, and three staff members to Tijuana, Mexico from July 17th-24th. One of the volunteer leaders, Amy VanMersbergen, had this to share about the trip: “I still can’t quite comprehend how a team of people put together a home in 3 days! What an incredible experience to be a part of. I had no idea when I signed up to be a leader of students for this trip that God would also show me how much He sees me, and the gifts He’s given me could be used in a tiny home in Mexico. I ended up being on the painting team, (which I do love to paint), but later our leader found out that I was an Interior Designer. He asked me if I would oversee where to place all the cupboards and furniture on the last day, which made me tear up a little.
Amy continues to say: “It was an incredible experience walking alongside the students and leaders to build a home for a single mom and her daughter, as well as taking part in the local ministries. I had the privilege of being a “mom” to many far away from home, and will never forget the conversations- God moments, worship, and laughter we all enjoyed.”
Young Life Golf Tournament
Join Young Life on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for their Sixth Annual North Whatcom County Young Life Golf Tournament at Loomis Trail Golf Course. Grab your golf friends and sign up for a fun day on the course, great competition (or at least great stories about your golf game), and an even greater purpose. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer, a once-a-year golfer, or mostly there for the snacks—Young Life wants YOU on the course! Their goal is to fill the course with 144 golfers, all coming together to help North Whatcom County Young Life continue reaching youth with the hope of Jesus. This event will help fund the local Young Life chapter and enable them to send kids to Camp. Come to help Young Life build relationships with young people and introduce them to Jesus, who offers real life.
