NCFCA meets its mission when Christian families participate!

For several years now, NCFCA’s strategic plan has focused on excellent service to our current families and outreach to Christian families around the country. We believe that staying true to our foundational beliefs and core values and offering compelling and accessible programming allows us to challenge and equip more ambassadors for Christ! 

Learn about some of the changes for 2026-27 that will help us continue to meet our mission! Get the details in an article from Executive Director, Kim Cromer.
