The discipleship ministry at NHBC focuses on fulfilling Jesus' command to "teach them to obey all that I have commanded you." The central focus of NHBC's discipleship ministry is the Bible. If we are going to make disciples who know all that Jesus has commanded, they must know God's Word. We believe the Scriptures are central to our growth as disciples. Because discipleship affects every aspect of a disciple's life, at NHBC, we seek to approach discipleship holistically.
Small Groups
Sunday School
Sunday school classes meet every Sunday at 9:15 a.m. There are Sunday school classes for all ages at NHBC. Sunday school serves as an opportunity for people to grow in their understanding of God's Word and their connection with one another. This is accomplished by having classes that are designed to be small groups where people can engage with one another and with the biblically centered lessons that are taught. Sunday school is intentionally structured so that anyone can attend any Sunday and be able to feel comfortable stepping right into the class.
Community Groups
Community groups meet throughout the week from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The purpose of community groups is to provide a mid-week opportunity for connection, encouragement, and growth. NHBC’s community groups meet in members’ homes and are sermon-based. This means that groups meet together and discuss the sermon that was preached the previous Sunday. This makes community groups highly engaging and discussion-oriented. Each community group has a time of fellowship, prayer, and study as they grow together in their understanding and application of God’s Word.
Community Groups are designed to be flexible and easy to join. To accomplish this, community groups meet for eight weeks at a time throughout the year. Another aspect of the flexibility of community groups is multiple groups meet on different days throughout the week so that different schedules can be accommodated.
