Location
Serve Here, Worship Here, Play Here
NCC is located in Papillion part of the greater Omaha metro area. Over looking the Omaha skyline, our new campus spans 80 acres of land, including more than 60,000 square feet of classrooms, dorm suites, student center, cafeteria and offices. There are also two, four-plex apartment buildings built in the fall of 2007 for our married students. And plans for a new worship center and classroom space is in the works.
Papillion is a thriving community with a variety of opportunities for our students. Two miles from the campus is Walnut Creek recreational park with a walking path and fishing. Five miles away is a new outdoor mall – Shadow Lake- with a variety of shopping options and restaurants. Seven miles away is the heart of Papillion with more opportunities for recreation, shopping and dining.
Most important to the NCC student expereince are the opportunities to serve. Because of the metro/urban location, students can experience service in very broad terms. Students who are interested cross-cultural ministry, students who are interested in rural ministry, students who are interested in children’s/student/youth ministy, students who are interested in homlessness or working with survivors of abuse, students interested in adult or geriatric ministry, or students with the average veryday service to their fellow man/woman can be found…Right here, right now!
For fun…well…there is the College World Series, The Henry Doorly Zoo, major college athletic events, concerts from Bon Jovi to Tenth Avenue North to Michael Buble to Justin Beiber to U2 not to mention the US National Swimming Trials, dining in the Old Market , and of course shopping from A-Z. This also means that there are opportunties for students who need to work while they are in college. We encourage you to explore the greater Omaha area…it could be your home for the next 4 years.
