Our Global Family
Part of NCMI
NCMI — New Covenant Ministries International — is a global family of churches linked by shared values and a common mission. We are not a denomination: there is no central hierarchy that governs how we run Sunday services or make local decisions. Instead, NCMI churches are connected through genuine relationship, mutual accountability, and a shared commitment to planting and strengthening churches around the world.
In practice, this means The Crossing benefits from a network of like-minded pastors, joint training events, and cross-church partnerships — while remaining fully rooted in Midrand.
