At Narellan Community Congregational Church (NCCC), we want to encourage and equip your friendship with Jesus wherever you are and however we can. To that end, we provide a livestream of our Sunday 10:00 am worship gatherings, as well as audio and video recordings of the weekly sermons.
In addition, if you want to take a deeper dive into the sermon and related topics, then our pastor, Ian Forest-Jones, occassionally explores further one or two issues raised for him during his research and preparation. These could not be explored in the sermon, for whatever reason (most likely because they would take up too much time).
We provide these video and audio recordings, and sermon notes because we believe the Bible provides timeless wisdom for our uncertain times.
If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, then we would love to hear from you. You can contact us using our "Contact" form.
