North Langley Community Church

What North Langley Community Church does

North Langley Community Church (NLCC) is a Mennonite Brethren congregation operating as a B.C. Registered Society and CRA Registered Charity, headquartered in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. The church runs four physical campuses in the Langley/Surrey region: Walnut Grove (main campus, with two Sunday services), Yorkson (meeting at Richard Bulpitt Elementary), Aldergrove (acquired through the 2022 merger with Bethel Mennonite Church, which traces its roots to 1936), and Willowbrook (launched September 2022). Congregants can also engage via a live stream from Walnut Grove on YouTube and sermon podcasts on major podcast platforms.

NLCC offers a structured set of programs and services: weekly worship gatherings, nine discipleship courses (Alpha, Apprentice Life, Baptism & Membership, Freedom Session, Life Together, Marriage Course, Prayer Ministry Course, The Bible Course, Money on Purpose), three formal support groups (Living Well for mental health, DivorceCare, Bereavement Journey), small-group ministry through Life Groups and Apprentice Groups, and demographic-specific programming for children (nursery through Grade 5), youth (Grades 6-12), young adults, adults, and seniors. A Ministry Internship Program trains emerging church-planting leaders. The church is staffed by a Lead Pastor (Matthew Price), campus pastors at each location, family ministries pastors and directors, worship coordinators, a Discipleship Pastor, Communications Director, and Administration Director/Privacy Officer, supported by interns and coordinators.

NLCC operates entirely on voluntary congregant tithes and offerings, with online giving available through the Church Center platform (powered by Planning Center). No products are sold; all programs and services are free to attend. The primary technology platform is Planning Center, a third-party Church Management System handling registrations, child check-in, giving, volunteer scheduling, communications, and membership/baptism pipelines, with the public-facing Church Center app serving as the congregant engagement portal. The church has no parent company, no institutional investors, and operates as an independent non-profit religious organization.
