Welcome.
We're glad you're here.
Our vision is to see a gospel movement on the North Shore.
Imagine what God can do.
Our long-term desire is to see an extraordinary work of God’s Spirit in every community on the North Shore, resulting in thousands of people meeting Christ, growing as disciples, and serving in gospel- centered churches.
We are about the gospel.
We are a group of people trying to get the gospel clear in our own hearts and minds, so we can make it clear to others, for the glory of Christ.
Don't be a stranger!
Our Culture
Our life together.
We want the way we do things at NSCBC to be shaped by the good news of Jesus Christ. As we seek to take part in a gospel movement on the North Shore we desire to align our church culture with the missionary call of God. Toward that end, we seek to:
Be a vibrant, welcoming community
People characterized by deep love, acceptance, and the mercy of God. We welcome others because he first welcomed us.
Grow individually
We want to continually grow in applying God’s Word to our everyday lives as we seek to align our whole lives to Jesus.
Communicate Jesus well to others
As we experience the joy of being awakened by the gospel in our own lives, we learn how to better share the good news in a way that connects the gospel to everyday life.
Our life on the North Shore.
A gospel movement is much bigger than one church. We strive for a culture that integrates with the broader church and area.
Engaging in organic ministry
Gospel movements are grassroots, vision-driven, and decentralized. The institutional church called NSCBC exists to serve and support the growth of the organic church.
Celebrating our area
We seek to celebrate the positive aspects of our culture and work towards the common good of our broader community.
Collaborating with local churches
We collaborate, not compete, with local churches and para-church ministries. We express this commitment through the North Shore Gospel Partnership.
Step into Community
We desire that everyone at NSCBC would make three connections:
- Connect with God in a deep, personal relationship;
- Connect with our church community – through small groups and discipleship groups and service opportunities
- Connect your faith to the world you live in.
Here are some ways you can make these connections.
Join us on Sundays
Our Sunday services write the story of the gospel on our hearts week after week. We gather to worship through song, prayer, teaching, and story—immersing ourselves in the gospel so we can share this good news with others.
Sundays at 9:15 and 11:00am
(One summer service at 10:00am)
Join a Connect Class
Attending the connect lunches is a great place to meet staff and leaders, as well as other newcomers to the church. We hold these classes quarterly (fall, winter, spring). Check our ChurchCenter page for the next class and signup there! There are two classes.
Connect 1 is a chance for you to get to chat with Pastor Bobby and some of our church staff and hear about our church and our vision for the future. It’s a great way to learn about who we are and the best way to begin to get connected to our community.
Connect 2, explores what it means to be a member of our church. Anyone can participate in the Connect 2 class even if you are not ready to continue in the membership process. During the time we look at the identity, calling, and structure of our church.
Lunch is typically provided at both classes. Childcare arrangements can be made as needed. Check the latest signups for details.
Become a Member
We encourage people who are a regular part of our community to consider becoming members. While you can certainly belong here without becoming a member, a member is someone who formally commits themselves to our church family. By expressing our commitment to the church we are expressing our love and care for the people in it.
We encourage people to attend Connect 1 and Connect 2 before applying for membership as they are great ways to learn more about the church.
After Connect 2 a membership application can be filled in followed by a conversation with some of our elders. The application can be completed online by clicking the button below, or a paper version can be downloaded here or requested from the church office. To complete the form online, login through church center at the link below.

Children's Ministry
We work with families to impart a faith that our kids can grow into.
Visit Us
Our worship services are 75 minutes long with roughly 30 minutes of biblical teaching. Our musical worship contains both organ-led hymns of praise as well as contemporary praise and worship led by our worship band.
Each week we enter into worship through a theistic theme – a quality or attribute of God through which we worship. This thematic posture helps us keep our focus on God.
Our building is handicap accessible for those with mobility needs. Handicap parking is adjacent to the main entrance. There is an elevator directly to your left as you enter the building, and handicap seating is closest to the sanctuary entrance doors. See an usher for assistance.
We have assisted listening devices for those who need them. Please see an usher or tech team member for assistance with the listening devices.
Your children are welcome to join you in the service, or to join in for one of our children’s ministry options. All of our Children’s Ministry volunteers are background checked and trained to work with children, and we have a secure children’s check in and check out process. Learn more about our offerings for children here.
Our parking lot provides ample space for parking for worship services. On busy Sundays like Christmas and Easter, please see this map for additional parking options on local streets.
If you’d like assistance getting to church, please contact our office.
