Lee McKinney is the lead pastor here at NCF. Lee and his family have attended NCF from the very first meeting in an old bread factory in Southern Pines in April of 2001. NCF and Lee, have been through lots of changes since then and he is now very glad to be the lead pastor of such a vibrant, relevant and growing church.

Lee’s prayer is that we at NCF worship God as HE desires to be worshiped. NCF has a motto; Ancient Faith for Modern Life. Lee feels that his life’s goal is to share the word of God with you in such a way that this ancient book will be relevant to your lives every day. He also prays that you are always encouraged each time we gather to sing, pray, give, share and turn to God’s word.

Lee loves spending time with his wife Nita and his 2 daughters, Amber and Jessica. He would like to get to know you better and if you would like to talk to Lee please use the available information to contact him. We hope you will contact Pastor Lee today!

Joe’s burden & calling is to be a watchman & prophetic voice in this generation calling anyone with ears to hear to repent, endure & finish well as we await our Lord’s return. He longs to see the body of Messiah (Jew & Gentile) strong, united & anointed by the Holy Spirit proclaiming Good News to the poor…healing to the brokenhearted…freedom to the captive…and bringing to the light those bound in darkness. Halleluyah!!

If you find yourself reading Joe’s blurb today & desiring prayer…he looks forward to hearing from you!  May today be your day of Salvation, Freedom, Healing & Deliverance in JESUS Name!!  Shalom & Blessings…May HIS Grace & Peace be multiplied to you & yours!

‘Do not let anyone mislead/deceive you.’ – Jesus (Matthew 24:4)

Jesse began serving at NCF in January 2023 as the Student Life Pastor.
3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME: 

1. I am married to my best friend Candice, and we have 3 wonderful daughters ages 18, 13, and 11.
2. I am ALWAYS up for an adventure—whether it’s hiking, fishing, cooking, or really anything outdoors.
3. I love to cook and try new foods.

WHY I LOVE STUDENT MINISTRY:
Jesus has transformed my life forever and I am simply following His calling that he has placed on my life.  I have been blessed to serve many years in children, youth, and adult ministries. I have a heart for helping students learn who Jesus is and know him as their own personal Savior. It is my goal that when they graduate high school, they do not graduate from their faith also. It is so important that our children learn to have their own faith and not just the faith of friends and family. My heart is to see God do BIG things through the next generation as they learn to develop deep and authentic relationships with Jesus.

MY FAVORITE BIBLE STORY:
The book of Jonah. I love how God knows what is best for us and pursues us even when we run from Him.

MY FAVORITE MOORE COUNTY SPOT:
On the lake

Pastor Bob Bulls came to NCF with over 35 years of combined experience in Christian
and local church ministry which includes experience as senior and staff pastor, youth
pastor, hospice chaplain on the regional and corporate level, instructor at Destiny Bible
College with an emphasis on discipleship training and ministry development for the
Body of Christ, and ministering as a singing member of a contemporary music
Christian praise band with one recorded album.

“I received my calling from the Lord for ministry shortly after I rededicated my life to the
Lord as a senior in high school. At 19 years of age, I attended an intensive school of
discipleship for 18 months and then served in the Air Force for four years. With my GI
Bill benefits, I attended college and have completed both graduate and postgraduate
studies. While in college, I met my beloved wife Sandy, and we have two wonderful,
grown boys, Caleb & Joshua. My wife and I have been wonderfully blessed to be able
to serve the Lord in many capacities and areas of service through the years.“

My heart, passion, and devotion for the Lord and His calling on my life is to help
others discover who they are in Christ, why they are here, and what they can do now to
co-labor with Jesus to extend His Kingdom in all the earth. Developing intimacy with
the Lord (John 17:3), reaching the lost and seeing them become fully devoted followers
of Jesus who are mature and reproducing (Colossians 1:28,29), and helping others to
yield to Christ within through His Spirit as He brings forth His nature and His ability
(Galatians 2:20 & 5:22-25) is the pathway that I have chosen to fight the good fight of
faith, to run my race, to finish my course and to keep the faith until the Lord calls me
home.”

Joyfully in His Love & Service!
