Chris Bower came to NCC in 2003 after walking away from ministry. NCC did for him and his family what it does best, loved them into healthy lives. Little did he know that God was putting him on a path to one day being the Lead Pastor. Along the way, he served as Middle School Minister, Youth Pastor, and Executive Pastor. In 2019 he became NCC's second Lead Pastor. He and his wife Lisa, have 3 daughters.
