NEW WORSHIPPING COMMUNITIES
Every New Church Development (NCD) is considered a "new worshipping community" (NWC)--for example, Umoja (Kenyan congregation) was an NCD before they were chartered by the Presbytery in May 2018. But, not every NWC is a NCD. For example, Lakewood Grace is not intending to become a separate church, but rather a satelite campus of Little Church on the Prairie. Olympia Presbytery is experimenting with New Worshipping Communities and seeing where God leads.
