The Small Group Ministry of NBC will seek to provide opportunities to relationally connect with one another in homes so as to fulfill our mission of making disciples who glorify God by prayerfully studying the Word, expanding our knowledge of God, deepening our love for each other, and encouraging one another to share the Gospel.

Groups meet twice a month on Sunday evenings fropm October - April.  We have a regular evening worship on the evenings groups do not meet and from May - September.  Please check the calendar for the schedule.

We are excited to offer 7 Small Groups!

  1. Scripture Memory | McClenahan's House
          Leader: Jerry McClenahan
    This group will focus on Scripture memory and meditation using a topical memory system covering six biblical topics. The participants will be encouraged to memorize the passages and come ready to share their insights with the group.
  2. (Group is Full) Lord, Teach Us to Pray | Ediger’s House
          Leader: Larry Ediger
    This group will use "Alone with God" by John MacArthur to study the Lord's prayer. The group will not just study prayer but will also seek to grow in the practice of prayer together.
  3. (Group is Full)The Gospel & Personal Evangelism | Foster’s House
          Leaders: Nick Williams & Drake Foster
    This group will use "The Gospel & Personal Evangelism" by Mark Dever as a study guide to grow together in our understanding of personal evangelism and its connection to the local church. This group will include practical application and accountability in the area of outreach.
  4. (Group is Full) The Gospel Comes with a House Key | Barkman's House
    Leaders: Dave Barkman & Brandon Jameson
    How do we reach a post-Christian world with the gospel? This group will consider "radically ordinary hospitality" as a key effort in reaching the lost around us. The group will use "The Gospel Comes with a House Key" by Rosaria Butterfield to facilitate study and discussion, while also strategizing together on how to practically grow in actually reaching out to those around us.
  5. (Group is Full) Helping Others Follow Jesus Better | Kruse's House
          Leaders: Matt Kruse & Bruce Plank
    This group's study will focus on the many ways that we can be useful in the church to disciple others. We will seek to grow in intentionally engaging others for their benefit. We will learn together what relationships God uses to build others in their faith, what challenges we face in discipleship, and how the normal means of discipleship in the church produces faithful men and women who serve the Lord to advance the gospel. If you want to grow in your ability to help others follow Jesus better, this is the small group for you!
  6. Compassionate Care for Plaguing Problems
    Life is full of plaguing problems, and we need help to navigate through them and sometimes we need to help others. Everyone experiences suffering and everyone struggles with sin, but we are not left without hope, help, and resources to endure and overcome for God's glory. Come learn with us how God calls and equips every believer to compassionately care for one another through life's plaguing problems with the hope of the gospel, the sufficiency of His Word, and through reliance upon the Holy Spirit. | NBC Overflow
