Neighborhood Church |

“Our Story 42 years ago when Wally Norling started a bible study in a home in Cypress, he couldn't have imagined how it would turn into a thriving church that has had a history of blessing the community and sending missionaries all around the world. Today, our vision is still the same, to help people thrive as fully functioning followers of Christ! But as we have grown as a church, our vision has continued to expand in our community and beyond. As a result, we have outgrown our name. In an effort to unify our branches and be the local church that God has called us to be, we have changed our name to Neighborhood Church.
