With God as the focus of our hearts and His Kingdom the focus of our work, our goal is:
- To faithfully obey God in response to his commands
- To fervently pray as proof of our utter dependence on Him
- To praise Him enthusiastically as the expression of our worship
- To preach and teach the pure Word of God
- To reach out:
- to unbelievers with the Gospel
- to youth with energetic programs and dedicated facilities
- to those in need with love from our abundance
- to other ministries to help them succeed in the work God has given them
NHBC Core Values
1. The Word of God Transforms lives
2 Corinthians 5:17 …if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
Preaching and teaching the Bible and remaining true to its message are a priority
2. Prayer is Essential to Our Work
John 15:5 …apart from me you can do nothing
Personal prayer and participation in community prayer are critical for the success of our mission as a church.
3. Individuals are Most Effectively Nurtured in Small Groups
Acts 2, Eph. 4, Heb. 10:24-25
The work of Christ is carried on in interpersonal relationships within spiritually intimate communities.
We establish small groups as nurturing fellowships in which application of the “one-another” works of grace among the members may flourish.
4. Discipleship is Our Mandate
Matthew 28:19 …go and make disciples of all nations
Through one-to-one discipleship, transformation ministries, Bible studies, worship and prayer, we provide an environment of learning and growing.
Colossians 1:28 …admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
5. Evangelism is Our Responsibility
A major responsibility of every believer.
6. We have a God-given Opportunity to Minister to Youth
We have a deep commitment to ministry to young people, providing staff and facilities for a vibrant and innovative outreach to youth.
7. We are Called to Assist Other Ministries
We support the work of and seek to encourage those ministering in other local churches, and elsewhere where Christ is honored.
Our staff and facilities are available to support other works and ministries.
8. The Early Church is our Example in Missions
We continue to support the work of missionaries in as wide a sphere as the Lord leads. Leadership training and discipleship for indigenous Mexican workers is a focus.
We support those who are interceding for persecuted Christians worldwide.
