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.
Weekly Meetups
Sunday School
Sunday school classes meet every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. There are Sunday school classes for all ages at NHBC. Sunday school serves as the primary entry point for discipleship at NHBC. Sunday school classes are designed so that anyone can attend any Sunday and be able to step right into the class without feeling like they do not know what is going on. Sunday school classes also provide a space that provides essential connections and relationships with other church members that we all need.
Sacred ASSEMBLY
An essential aspect of the health and growth of any church is prayer. We see in the Scriptures, the call for God's people to gather and call on His name (Joel 1:14). Every Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m., before our discipleship training, we gather as a church to pray, This time of prayer grows the church in corporate unity and helps individual disciples grow in maturity. If you choose to attend, you are not required to pray aloud. We desire to see God do great things in and through NHBC. We believe that the best way for us to discern God's will and what He wants to do at NHBC is for the church to gather in corporate prayer to seek God together.
Wednesday men's and Women's Bible Study
Every Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m., NHBC gathers together to study God's Word. This Bible study time is designed to give men and women the opportunity to sharpen each other by gathering separately. Both groups are focused on helping each other grow in our biblical knowledge and in living out the truths that are discovered. At NHBC, we recognize that providing an all-male or all-female Bible Study can provide the perfect opportunity for multi-generational discipleship to take place as is commanded in the Scriptures (Titus 2:1-8).
Discipleship Training
Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. are devoted to growing deeper in our discipleship. While Sunday school serves as the entry point to discipleship, we must grow to maturity. The goal of Sunday evening gathers is to stretch our faith and deepen our understanding of both doctrinal and practical aspects of discipleship. After all, if we are going to grow as disciples, we must know what to believe, why we believe it, and how to live it out. Therefore, the discipleship training time is designed to provide classes that focus on both doctrine and practice (e.g., the doctrine of the church, marriage, interpretation of the Bible, and conflict management).
