Retreats
At the beginning of each school year, NCCS takes all Middle and Upper School students on a special retreat, providing an unparalleled opportunity for them to grow closer to each other and to the Lord. Away from the normal pressures of school and life, students are given a firm foundation of faith and friendship.
And did we mention that NCCS fall retreats are also incredibly FUN? From color wars to games to high-energy worship, students are reenergized and renewed — ready for the school year ahead.
“As a new student, I came into the retreat not knowing anyone, but I was warmly embraced by everyone. The teachers and students both made me feel so welcome. I left the retreat feeling like I had a new family.” NCCS Student

The sessions led by Cole Ragsdale from NorthStar Church at NCCS’s Upper School retreat have been incredibly impactful. The rich words spoken over our students are not lost on us. We pray that they are soul-saving reminders.
Some highlights:
We’re the image bearers of God … the Capstone of His creation...

The second day of the 7th / 8th grade middle school retreat began with a time of prayer and devotion. All of the students spread out across the beautiful Woodlands campus with their Bibles and had a dedicated time to meditate on Scripture.
After devotions the COLOR WARS continued with the semifinals...
