connecting where you live

NSF has divided the city into geographic parishes in an effort to better provide care and meet needs of our people.  Each parish has an area pastor and most have an elder & a deacon.

Click on your parish above to see contact info for your Elder and Deacon.

 

What are parish elders & deacons?

PARISH ELDERS provide spiritual oversight. If you want to know how to step into fellowship with those who live near you, or find out about events in your parish, contact your parish elder.

PARISH DEACONS help those in fellowship to meet one another's and our neighborhood needs. If you have a need or want to help meet a need, contact your parish deacon.

We also have pastors and elders giving care and oversight to our parishes.
