It is an opportunity to reflect and celebrate Christ’s victory over death and the promise of new life—the promise that through His sacrifice and resurrection, we may become a new, redeemed people, restored to a loving God.

@10am in NBC

This Sunday, Christians around the world will be remembering Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, known as Palm Sunday.

Join us on Sunday as we unpack the story of Martha, Mary and Jesus in Luke 10:38-42 and see what God has to say to us.

You are encouraged  to read and reflect on the passage in preparation for Sunday.

This coming Sunday, some members of NBC are going to be interviewed about their faith journey. We pray that this occasion will not only be a wonderful time of encouragement, but that God will use those testimonies to challenge and motivate us about our walk with Him.

If there are people in your life who you’ve been talking to about the Christian faith, but they’ve yet made that commitment to follow Him, then consider inviting them to come with you this Sunday to church and hear the stories of what God is doing in the lives of others. Perhaps through what is shared might aid them in their drawing nearer to Christ.

We hope to see you this weekend for this special time together.

As we continue in our ‘Talk the Talk’ message series this Sunday,
we are going to be tackling the issue of COMPLAINING.

See you in 67 Eban Ave, Hillcrest this Sunday @10am.

This Sunday, we are commencing a message series entitled ‘Talk the Talk’, in which we want to look at how we might, as Scripture puts it, ‘tame our tongues’. As we know, what can come out of our mouths can sometimes cause a whole lot of trouble.

As part of this series, we going to address topics like swearing and complaining, but this Sunday, we going to focus on the issue of GOSSIPING.

Join us this Sunday for a message about Hope in the Hard Times and learn how we can have joy in the midst of the trials of life.

This is a special message brought to us by one of our young adults, Reuben Maddock, a theology student at Laidlaw College. It will be an encouragement to all of us as we go through the trials and challenges of life.

There’s a common saying that goes: “If we don’t know where we’re going, the odds are we’re likely to end up somewhere that we don’t want to be“.
This adage is true for organisations, businesses, people and churches.

Why is this important to know? This Sunday, we taking the opportunity to engage with a very simple mission tool/philosophy known as CREED. It’s purpose is to help us be intentional about Jesus’ command of making disciples: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” – Matthew 28:19

This Great Commission is our mission as Christians – It’s where we’re meant to be heading. CREED is a way to help us accomplish what Jesus has set before us. Therefore, we’d love to see you at Church this Sunday as we explore CREED together.

We are having a baptism service. Please come and support Jesse, Amy, Elise and Caleb as they take this significant step in their faith journey.

If you want to find out more about what baptism means and why we do it, talk to one of our pastors Marcus, Bruce or Nicola.
