Community Partners

Nativity shares its space with a number of community organizations. You will find events from these organizations listed in the Nativity calendar when they have events planned that take place at Nativity.

Some of our community partners have not been able to meet during the pandemic where state and Diocesan guidelines limited indoor gatherings.

North Carolina Chamber Music Institute

NCCMI is a not-for-profit program that recruits Triangle area music students between the ages of 8 and 18 to play in small group ensembles. They are mentored by members of the North Carolina Symphony and professional music coaches to perform in area churches, retirement communities, libraries, museums, and before concerts of the North Carolina Symphony. Nativity provides rehearsal space for several of the 20 ensembles, and NCCMI responds by providing special music at services and by offering concerts at the church that are open to the public. For more information, see the NCCMI Website.
