The Neighborhood Christian Center in Jackson, MS (Merged with Mission First) strives to develop relationships with their neighbors in need, allowing for an effective presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and an opportunity to give the community a spiritual as well as a practical foundation on which they can build their lives through its programs and activities.
Realizing that Mission First, Neighborhood Christian Center and Peyton's House had the common mission of sharing the hope of Christ by meeting the needs of the local community the organizations merged in 2016. By combining strengths and resources under one organization they are better positioned to meet the needs of those around them. The resulting organization operates under the name Mission First with the now multiple campuses referred to as Neighborhood Christian Centers and Peyton's House specifically serving 6th-12th grade guys.
