Eddie Heinrich directs the NCC’s Youth and Young Adult Ministries Department, which is devoted to guiding young people into a deeper relationship with Jesus and helping them grow in faith, purpose, and service.
Youth Ministries include retreats, camps, and gatherings offer spaces where young hearts are strengthened, friendships are formed, and faith takes root. Summer on the Run brings joy and spiritual connection to children, many of whom encounter the love of Christ for the first time. Programs like Team Bible Academy invite youth to explore Scripture and grow together in understanding and trust.
Young adults are stepping into leadership through evangelistic efforts and community outreach, discovering what serving with compassion and courage means. Retreats help them build healthy, Christ-centered relationships and deepen their walk with God.
Pathfinders continue to grow through hands-on service, leadership training, and events that foster teamwork and commitment. These experiences prepare them not just for ministry but for life.
The department walks alongside local churches, supporting pastors and leaders with training, resources, and encouragement. Campus ministries, urban outreach, and cultural partnerships extend the church’s mission beyond its walls.
Each life touched—whether through a campfire prayer, a mission trip, or a food fair—reflects the heart of this ministry. Continued support means these efforts will continue to plant seeds of faith, raise leaders, and build a future full of hope and purpose.
