Cameron Boys Camp: Cameron Boys Camp is a wilderness residential camps in which the residents live outside year-round in deck floor platform tents that they design, construct, and maintain as part of the program. Both camps are designed to provide girls and boys, along with their families, an opportunity to work out problems through a highly structured outdoor program and accredited, non-public school. During that time, they are exposed to Christ and His love and are given the tools they need to work through past hurts and trauma.

Embrace Grace:
This ministry group supports women walking through an unexpected pregnancy, women navigating single motherhood and young men embarking the journey of fatherhood by connecting them to a judgment-free support group within a church. Contact Caitlyn Harward: cebradham@gmail.com
“Embrace Grace is a 12 week long support group for single women experiencing unexpected pregnancy offered under the cover of the church. The curriculum is designed to explore their identity in Christ as women and what that means as they become mothers. Once the 12 weeks are concluded, we throw a baby shower for the women where we strive to provide them with most, if not all, of their registry items. We partner with the Life Care Pregnancy Center who advertise our group by purchasing Love Boxes from the Embrace Grace website and gifting one to each woman they serve. Each Love Box has a personal invitation to a church-hosted support group, stories from both a parenting mom and birth mom, a letter of hope, a journal with writing prompts encouraging her to be fearless, a ‘Best Gift Ever’ onesie and A Bump in Life book that includes testimonies that offer single and pregnant moms hope. Some women we have in our Embrace Grace group are abortion-minded, some are not, some are single, and some have boyfriends, but they all are experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and are in desperate need of the love and grace Christ wants to freely give them.

Growing4God: A non-profit mobile ministry from Whispering Pines, NC designed to go out, set up, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in locations that most would not expect to hear the good news. You will find us on street corners, at truck stops, in nursing homes and wherever we are led or invited to share God’s message. We are not a church but rather a ministry to help bring the unsaved into knowing the Salvation of Jesus Christ, and then point them to a local church to grow their personal relationship with God. We are always Kingdom minded and our goal is to help unify Christ’s Church and not glorify any local church.
Hope - Operation Reinforcement: This ministry group supports military families with love and service. It facilitates meals during times of loss, handy work during deployments, Hail and Farewell meals during transitions. “This is a ministry within the church body for the military – often the context of services is confidential as we in the military are very “private” in most aspects of life. As an Elder of the church and retired military it has been a ministry on our hearts (my wife & I) for many years. My last program of study was in psychology, and I am a graduate of AACC in Counseling. Thus, the name of the ministry is “Operation Reinforcement” as when we (military) are in a bind we look for reinforcements of our own.” - Mark Gyure This ministry is focused on serving our military / veterans and their families under the principal found in Philippians 2:1-5 “So, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus”.

Operation Christmas Child: The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. This whole process is made possible by caring individuals who pack shoeboxes full of quality gifts for children in need. Many of these shoebox packers also use our Follow Your Box feature to discover the country where their gift will be delivered.
More than 10,000 year-round volunteers also get the word out about the Samaritan’s Purse project across the U.S. In addition, some 82,000 short-term volunteers serve in more than 4,500 drop-off locations open across the country every year during National Collection Week, the third week in November. Each shoebox collected then travels to one of our processing centers to be inspected and prepared for international shipment by 105,000 volunteers. All of this is supported by the 14,000 volunteers in our prayer network.
NCF is part of these faithful volunteers. Each year NCF is a regional drop off location for our surrounding area. We collect hundreds of shoeboxes and help ship them to their next location along the journey. Children all over the world are receiving the love of Christ because of volunteers like you! Please consider volunteering your time during the OCC Collection Week the third week of November.
