Visit
Visiting on Sunday is the best way to get to know NSCBC. Our services take place at 9:15 and 11 am (10 am Memorial Day-Labor Day). We hope you’ll join us after the service for coffee to get to know our community and meet our pastors.
Let us know you’re coming and we will be glad to meet you, introduce you to some folks in our community, and welcome you to worship with us.
The best way to get to know us at NSCBC is to attend one of our Sunday services. We hope that our worship services will be a blessing to you, whether you are already following Jesus or just wanting to find out more about him.
Our in-person services takes place in the church sanctuary at 9:15 & 11am (1 service at 10am during the summer months). It is also live-streamed online at nscbc.org/live so that those who are watching at home will still be able to worship with us.
About our Services
Our worship services are based on historic patterns of Christian Worship. Every service is focused around a God-centered theme and has music, prayers, Bible readings, and a sermon to reflect this theme. Our worship services blend various musical styles and practices — some traditional and some contemporary. The sermon is a 30 minute message explaining how the good news of the gospel contained in the Bible is relevant and transformational for our lives today.
The church takes an offering each week as an act of worship. While there is no obligation to give, we hope that all who call NSCBC their church home would worship God and participate in the ministry of the local church with regular giving.
While the service follows a regular rhythm (liturgy) of Christian worship, no prior knowledge is assumed and there is no expectation for you to say or pray something you don’t believe. Also, don’t worry about what to wear. Some wear suits, others wear shorts – we encourage everyone to wear whatever they feel comfortable in!
Baptism and Communion
On the first Sunday of every month we share the Lord’s Supper as part of the worship service. Check out our beliefs page to learn more about it. We celebrate baptisms at Easter and seasonally as needed within the life of the church. Fill out the connect form to express interest in baptism.
Songs we sing at NSCBC
Each week we sing 4-5 songs accompanied by a worship team or the organ. Here is a playlist of songs we commonly sing.
We strive to make a welcoming and safe environment for children to learn about God and develop a faith they can grow into. Here’s what to expect on a Sunday.
Both Services
- The Infant Nursery provides a warm, caring environment for little ones (birth-2 1/5 yrs) during both Sunday worship services & Sunday School. All of our helpers have undergone Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) background checks, and there are at least two volunteers present at all times.
9:15am – First Worship Service (10am summer)
- Infant Nursery (as above)
- Our Toddler Care program is designed to meet the needs of young kids in a safe and loving environment where they can grow to trust the church as a fun and comfortable environment. Children attend during the entire Sunday worship service, experiencing a variety of structured and unstructured play, and Bible learning activities including music and art.
- Our Children’s Worship for children age 4.5 through 2nd grade is designed to help children worship in a special place apart from the worshiping congregation so they become able to worship meaningfully with the congregation. This program uses a sensorimotor style of storytelling as a primary means for encountering God, so God is experienced, not just learned about.
11:00am – Second Worship Service and Sunday School (not during summer)
- Infant Nursery (as above)
- Our Sunday School for Toddlers through Grade 5 is a unified curriculum, grounded in the gospel, that helps to guide your children to become disciples of Jesus Christ. The curriculum we use is Gospel Story for Kids. Our teachers are excited to help your children understand and experience Christ and learn how all the Bible points to him and what he’s done for us.
