Our Story
NCPC was founded in July, 1998. It started with an initial vision from the Korean Immigrant Church leaders to address the problem of a disappearing generation of young Korean-Americans from the Immigrant Church. Furthermore, they saw a need to start a church in the city because there was a large migration of these young people moving to a changing Chicago landscape. In light of this, they recruited Pastor Brad Paik to take on this challenging task.
Since it's humble beginnings where only 6 people gathered to meet weekly, God has grown NCPC by expanding and refining our vision to reach beyond ethnic and cultural boundaries. God has given NCPC the opportunity to reach out to a generation who is seeking to find answers for their pains and emptiness they experience from the false promises of fulfillment that come from the surrounding culture. Knowing that this universal condition of the human heart is not confined to city dwellers in Chicago, NCPC has expanded to establish a second campus in the suburbs of Chicago and sends out missionaries throughout the world to reach people of different cultures with the hope we have in Christ. It is our hope that people will experience the fullness of God's love and grace so they can find the only true fulfillment of joy that comes through faith in Christ.
