The Laguna Niguel Connectors (LNC) group mission is to help business professionals in the local community get connected and stay connected by providing a local and convenient venue.
With a focus on “community building” and helping others FIRST, we have evolved from establishing connections to establishing relationships that help like-minded professionals derive greater values from these connections.

Career Transition Ministries
North Coast Calvary Chapel (NCCC) hosts this page as a free service to companies seeking employees and those persons seeking employment. Our intent is to bring ethical and moral companies together with high quality competent candidates to achieve a “win-win” business relationship. As NCCC does not screen any position and cannot screen potential candidates, NCCC does not endorse the advertising companies, their staff, products or services, nor does NCCC endorse the responding candidate. NCCC is therefore not liable for misrepresentation or financial loss of any individual or entity that uses this free service.
We hope you find this service helpful and successful. We wish you God’s blessings as you pursue His will for your life.
The Career Transition Ministry was formed to challenge and equip individuals as they seek God’s career and service direction during times of transition.
