New Community Church

What New Community Church does

New Community Church of Tacoma (NCC) is a non-profit religious organization founded in 2006 and headquartered at 3102 S. 23rd St, Tacoma, WA. It operates as part of the Confluence family of churches, a mutual-support denominational network that provides shared values, accountability, and infrastructure. NCC delivers its ministry through three Sunday worship services (8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am), a network of Community Groups meeting Monday through Thursday across Tacoma neighborhoods and workplaces, and age-segmented programs including NCC Kids (nursery through 5th grade), NCC Youth (6th-12th grade), Young Adults, and Thriving Moms. The organization describes itself as 'light on staff, but heavy on a desire to serve,' operating with approximately 8 paid staff members and relying on volunteer-driven Serving Teams across 11 ministry areas.

NCC's product and technology footprint consists of a website built on the SnapPages platform, a mobile app powered by Subsplash providing access to teaching content, events, and giving functionality, and a sermon archive distributed via Apple Podcasts and Spotify. The current teaching series is an extended walk through Ephesians led primarily by Lead Elder Bo Noonan. NCC Kids reports averaging close to 200 children weekly during summer 2026, and the church marked its 20-year anniversary in June 2026. Governance rests with Lead Elder Bo Noonan alongside a team of directors (Community Groups, Volunteer & Building, NCC Kids, NCC Youth) and an Eldership Team of four additional elders.

NCC is funded entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, collected during Sunday services and through an online giving platform supporting one-time and recurring gifts via the website and mobile app. There are no product prices, no enterprise contracts, and no disclosed financial statements. The church is privately held in the nonprofit sense (no equity ownership) and is affiliated with but not owned by the Confluence parent network. Its operating geography is limited to Tacoma, WA, with no evidence of multi-site expansion or external programmatic reach beyond podcast distribution.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Sojourn Community Church: A Louisville, KY-based church affiliated with the Acts29 network that pioneered a community-group-centric model very similar to NCC's, with neighborhood-based small groups serving as the primary connection point to the church. Comparable in theology, programming philosophy, and emphasis on gospel-centered community.
• The Village Church: A Texas-based evangelical church originally built around small-group discipleship and expository preaching before growing into a multi-site network. Closely comparable to NCC's community-group-first philosophy and emphasis on verse-by-verse Bible teaching.
• Watermark Community Church: A Dallas-area non-denominational church whose entire discipleship architecture is built around Community Groups as the primary engine of spiritual formation. The most structurally analogous operating model to NCC's community-group-centric approach.
• Church of the City: A New York City church plant network explicitly designed around neighborhood-based community groups as the central missional and discipleship unit. Comparable in mission, small-group-centric model, and church-planting DNA to NCC's Confluence affiliation.
• Trinity Grace Church: A NYC-based family of churches organized around parish-model community groups meeting in neighborhoods throughout the week, similar to NCC's Monday–Thursday Community Groups. Closely matched in size, structure, and small-group-first philosophy.
• Apostles Church NYC: A Brooklyn-based church plant built around neighborhood community groups meeting throughout the week, with an emphasis on gospel-centered discipleship. Comparable in size, programming philosophy, and community-group-first architecture to NCC.

Broad incumbents

• North Point Ministries: Andy Stanley's Atlanta-based church network that popularized the small-groups-as-primary-strategy model in the evangelical world. A broader incumbent whose operating playbook heavily informs NCC's community-group architecture, though at vastly larger scale.
• Summit Church: A large Durham, NC-based evangelical church with a comparable multi-generational programming model (kids, students, adults) and emphasis on small-group community. Comparable in ministry breadth though materially larger in scale.
• Saddleback Church: A California-based evangelical church known for comprehensive age-graded programming from nursery through adults, paralleling NCC's family-ecosystem approach. A broader incumbent with similar all-stages-of-life ministry emphasis.
• Elevation Church: A Charlotte, NC-based multi-site church with strong NextGen (kids and student) programming that mirrors NCC's emphasis on children and youth ministry throughput. Operationally comparable in family-ecosystem design, though at larger scale.
