About NTC

A non-denominational church rooted in family, purpose, and mission.

NTC is a non-denominational church in Massena, NY and a member of the Mannahouse Global Family. The mission is simple: Know God, Love One Another, and Make Disciples.

We often say people are not coming together for church — they are the church coming together. The building is a gathering place. The family of people is the church.

Who We Are

The whole story behind the family.

NTC is a non-denominational church in Massena, NY and part of the Mannahouse Global Family. The church is led by Lead Pastors Greg and Jessica Hurlbut, a Pastoral Lead Team, and an Eldership Team, alongside team leaders and small group leaders who pastor the community.

1980 Started in Massena Still carrying a regional and global church-planting heart.
Church As Family

NTC often says people are not coming together for church — they are the church coming together. Without the people who gather in the building or tune in online, the building is only a structure. Since the beginning, God created people for one another with purpose in mind, and NTC believes the church is God's vehicle for providing family and purpose.

Leadership Today

Greg and Jessica Hurlbut grew up in NTC and served on staff in youth ministry beginning in 2005. In 2016, they transitioned into their current roles as Lead Pastors. The Lead Team handles daily operations, the Eldership Team provides oversight and accountability, and both serve alongside leaders who care for groups, teams, and the wider church family.

Values

Eight convictions that shape how NTC lives.

These values are not a doctrinal statement. They describe the focus, perspective, passion, and investment that guide how NTC spends time, energy, and resources.

01

The Church Is One Big Family

You are not alone. God designed us to be together, so NTC welcomes everyone with open arms to be part of the family.

02

Culture of Authenticity

What you see is what you get. NTC believes Jesus' strength is made perfect in weakness and is not afraid to be honest about it.

03

Unity in the Capital-C Church

The local church is the hope of the world, and NTC believes the Church can accomplish infinitely more together than apart.

04

Wholeness

God's promise of salvation is more than a ticket to heaven. With Him, people keep moving toward restoration of body, mind, and spirit.

05

The Holy Spirit Is Our Boss

NTC strives not to make its own plans as a church or as individuals. The Holy Spirit is the guide, and the church seeks to follow His lead.

06

Worship Is a Lifestyle

Worship is not only a Sunday song set. NTC worships together on Sundays and daily through an attitude of surrender in all things.

07

Everyday We Are on Mission

Missions is not only across the world. It is lived every day as NTC brings the Kingdom of God to earth.

08

Sacrifice

Faith requires action. NTC believes there is no decision too hard and no cost too high when following in Christ's footsteps to the cross.

Beliefs

Historic Christian faith, explained plainly.

NTC believes in God as Creator and Ruler, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of God, Scripture is God's Word, and salvation is God's free gift received by faith.

  • People are made in God's image and deeply loved by Him.
  • The Holy Spirit lives in each Christian from salvation.
  • Baptism is a symbol of obedience and new life in Christ.
  • NTC gives liberty in non-essential beliefs while holding the core of the Gospel.
