Honoring Our Legacy

At NCT Christian Campus, we proudly honor the enduring legacies of our revered leaders: Bishop Monroe Clark, Bishop John R. Savage, and Elder Paul H. Arrington. Each of these remarkable individuals have profoundly shaped our campus community through their unwavering dedication to faith, service, and spiritual growth. Their commitment echoes the teachings of Scripture, reminding us of the importance of love and service in our lives. As stated in Galatians 5:13 (NIV), “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” This call to service has been a guiding principle for our NCT campus leadership, inspiring us all to empower others and uplift the community through the finished works of Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, their dedication reflects the wisdom of Proverbs 11:25 (NIV): “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” This truth illustrates how their selfless acts of service have enriched the lives of countless others in the community and the Body of Christ. The legacy they have built aligns with the message of Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV), which urges us to work wholeheartedly, as if for the Lord, rather than for human masters. Their lives exemplify this principle, motivating us to pursue our mission with great passion, faith, and purpose.

As we honor their contributions, we are reminded of our responsibility to carry forward the mission of Jesus Christ through the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We carry their legacy and example of faith, service, and spiritual growth within our community.
