Marty and Regen Heckman, NCC missions partners in Central Asia, will share about their missons experience at the services on June 13 and 14. The Heckmans, including their daughter, Addy, have just returned from overseas.
Update from the elders
In light of the many questions that have been asked about the administrative pastor and hiring process, the Elders have decided to pause the 6/7/26 congregational meeting. This will provide more time to explain the process that was used to gather information, our prayerful reflections on that information, and time for any further questions and feedback you may have before a potential vote of confirmation. Please email the Elders with questions or feedback so we can connect with you - elders@nbchurch.org

Join Pastor Kevin and Paul Larsen for a memorable trip to Branson, MO, featuring the spectacular production of David at the Sight & Sound Theatre. This inspiring show brings the life of King David to the stage through powerful music, dramatic storytelling, and breathtaking visuals that will encourage and strengthen your faith.

Registration deadline is June 21.
This experience is designed to be far more than simply a getaway – it will be a meaningful time of fellowship, worship, and renewal. As we travel together by motorcoach, we hope to redeem our time through uplifting conversation, songs of worship, Scripture reflections, and opportunities to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation along the way.
Throughout the trip, we look forward to deepening existing friendships, building new connections, encouraging one another in faith, and creating lasting memories together. There will be opportunities for quiet rest and personal reflection, balanced with moments of joy, laughter, and shared experiences. On Sunday, we will gather for a special time of worship and reflection as we continue to grow together in faith and fellowship.
We would love for you to join us!

SummerFest 2026 - July 11
A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up to help with SummerFest! If you would still like to sign up, please do so here: https://tinyurl.com/NCCFest
Now it's time for the next step: inviting people!
Join us on Friday, July 11, from 5:00–7:30 PM for SummerFest! We'll have outdoor games, bounce houses, wagon rides, a complimentary dinner, and live music. This is a free event for all ages and a great opportunity to connect with friends, neighbors, and our community.
Who can you invite? Think about your neighbors, coworkers, friends, relatives, classmates, sports teammates, and the families you've met through school or activities (people of all ages!). A personal invitation is often the reason someone decides to come.
Let's make the most of this opportunity to show hospitality, build relationships, and share the love of Christ with our community.
Invite a friend, bring a neighbor, and join us for a great evening together!
