The Michigan New Church Incubator (NCI) may offer a wide variety of consulting or other services to provide the new church with needed resources to start well and overcome common problems.
The MI-NCI will network to resource the new church with more concrete aid, such as office space, supplies, materials, financial resources, intellectual capital and more. Church Starters and new churches that participate with the Michigan New Church Incubator will experience a much higher success rate than those that do not have the NCI support system.
