More Than – NorthEast Christian Church

God has been writing a story of hope and redemption and it started here in November of 2001. God called a group of followers to plant a church at 990 Star Shoot Parkway in Lexington. God has remained faithful and NorthEast Christian Church has been reaching people in Lexington and surrounding counties for nearly 20 years.

What motivates us is the charge that Jesus gave, known as the Great Commission, in which He calls us to make disciples. We are committed to that mission. From the little ones who visit NCC Kidz, to those who have walked with God for decades and everyone in between, we have had the opportunity to minister to our community and share the hope of Jesus Christ.

**What is more than?**

The ultimate goal of more than is to reach more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God remains consistently faithful and has provided a unique opportunity for NorthEast Christian Church to fund more kingdom work, more missions and more discipleship.

Beginning in November of 2019 and continuing over the next 25 months, every dollar we pay on our loan principal will lower our monthly mortgage payment and free up more money for more ministry. You can join in at any time!

**Why more than?**

Ministry requires resources. In January of 2012, we owed $10 million on our debt. We never missed a mortgage payment through seasons of highs and lows, and we have slowly chipped away at the debt. In June of 2019, we owed $8.9 million with a fluctuating interest rate and pre-payment penalties of $900,000. Our hands were tied. The debt tethered us, slowed us, and hindered our ability do ministry the way God has called us to do ministry.

In June of 2019, Christian Financial Resources (CFR), who we had been working with us for a couple of years, dealt with our mortgage holder, and was able to purchase the debt for $5.5 million. That’s a $3.4 million forgiveness, that only God could have orchestrated! In October 2019, our debt totaled $5.63 million. God has done more than we could imagine with our finances.

Where are we today?

Thanks to God’s blessing and the support of our church body, over $1,075,000 has been pledged to More Than and, as of March 2022, we have already been able to pay over $700,000.00 on our principal.

We have seen God work in ways that we have never before through more than and we know that He is not done!
