Sunday school

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

Every Sunday morning at 9:00AM, the hallways of NMBC are buzzing with excitement as our church divides up into small groups in order to study the Bible in a more intimate environment. These small groups foster an atmosphere where honest discussions about the challenges of life can take place and both struggles and praises are shared openly with the class. The goal of our Sunday School Ministry is for each class member to grow and be enriched spiritually in their daily walk with Christ. Sunday School Teachers challenge their members to grow in the nurture and admonition of our Lord by making them bold in their faith. Each class encourages its members to reach out to our community and bring others with them so that they too may become a vibrant part of the family of God. We have a class for everyone. Don't miss this opportunity to get to know people just like you who are trying to make an impact for Christ.


AS WE GROW LARGER, WE MUST GROW SMALLER We understand at NMBC that as our church continues to grow, people may begin to feel like they might get lost in the crowd and no longer feel connected with other members of the congregation. We realize that the only way to respond to that concern is to grow smaller by connecting people with others through the use of small groups in our Sunday School. This helps keep our church healthy and thriving and able to accomplish the mission that God has given NMBC. Come join us as we ground ourselves in the Word of God and then seek to reach our community and the world for Christ.


PLANNING TO VISIT? If you are planning on visiting one of our Sunday School classes, we cordially invite you to take advantage of our Visitor Parking, which is located directly in front of our Sanctuary (You will need to circle the building to find these parking spots). Upon entering the church through the Sanctuary doors, one of our friendly ushers will escort you to our Sunday School Welcome Desk, where our courteous volunteers will make sure you find a class that perfectly fits you and each member of your family.

Discipleship training

IT'S NOT A PROGRAM, IT'S A PROCESS

True Discipleship is the process of taking Christ's teachings and instilling them into our lives in such a way that we strive daily to live like Christ. It is a process that should be occurring consistently in each of our lives. Discipleship is a lifestyle, which means following Christ will require significant changes in the the way we, as Christians, think and live. A true disciple is always willing to follow his Master, while trying to glean things from Jesus' life and applying them to their own. Christians endure struggles and hardships just like everyone else and they need a place where they can ask hard questions and then learn, as a follower of Christ, the process of how they should respond to life's difficulties. This is our goal for Discipleship Training at NMBC.


Discipleship Training begins at 5:00PM each Sunday Evening (January - May and August - November)with classes meeting throughout the NMBC campus. This time is dedicated mainly for Christians who want to grow deeper in their knowledge of the Scripture. Each class is designed to lead participants into a deeper personal relationship with Christ in regards to a particular topic or book study. Classes vary each semester and have included a Women's Ministry Bible Study, an Evangelism Training Class (The Way of the Master), a Biblically-Based Finance Class, and a Church History Class, and a Book-of-the-Bible Class among many others. Whether you are looking to delve deeper into God's Word or learn more about how you can apply your personal walk with Christ into different realms of your life, we want to help give you the tools so that you can mature as a Christian in every aspect of your life.
