Adult 12 Week Study:
- Men’s Fraternity - Men’s Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God. Men’s Fraternity was designed to help men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction. (also on Fridays at 6am)
- Women’s Bible Study: Esther – Beth Moore looks at the Old Testament story of Esther as a profile in courage that contains many modern parallels for today’s woman. Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. Esther’s destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.
- Boundaries with Kids – Boundaries with Kids by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, addresses the critical issues involved in learning when to say Yes and when to say No to help your children gain control of their lives.
- Evangelism – What are some evangelistic strategies to use today? This class will help you learn some strategies and then apply these strategies.
Adult 6 Week Study:
- Men’s Bible Study – There will be 2 studies; the first 6 weeks, Ecclesiastes, and the last 6 weeks , James. Choose one or the other or both. These studies are designed to increase your understanding of God’s Word and equip you to serve Him more effectively.
- Cooking Class – This six week class will teach the basics of cooking. It is limited to the first 10 who sign up due to space. $10 supply fee.
- Forged by Faith – This study will take place the first 6 weeks in the sanctuary. Why are we Baptist? Who are we? Experience how committed individuals combined their efforts, talents and ministries to forge the Southern Baptist Convention.
- Sanctuary Bible Study – This study will take place the second 6 weeks. Come and be part of this Bible study in the sanctuary.
- Fireproof Your Marriage – This study will be held the first 6 weeks. It will feature clips from the Fireproof movie. This study will challenge couples to work through relational issues and to look at love as a lifetime commitment.
- Extraordinary Marriage – This course will be held the last 6 weeks. This course will challenge couples to never again settle for an ordinary relationship. It will offer a step by step plan for couples to evaluate their own marriage and work toward that vision of an extraordinary marriage.
Children & Youth Study
- Nursery – The nursery is available to all parents who are participating in Sunday Night Bible Study. Rest assured that your baby or toddler will be taken care of by our workers.
- Cherub Choir – Cherub Choir is for the “little angels” of the church – ages 3-6. This may be the first ministry for your child and a very exciting one for them at that! The little ones learn to sing praises to our God and also learn Scripture and Biblical principals while having lots of fun. The group meets on Sunday evenings from 6-7pm.
- Children’s G-Force – G-Force is a fun-filled Bible study for elementary aged children. It is fast moving, but allows each child to encounter God personally each week in a dynamic, interactive, high-tech environment. The fun, interactive cards help kids carry home the lessons they learn.
- Youth Bible Study – Sunday nights mean Man-time for our young men and Girl-time for our young women. It is a fun and intimate time of Bible study and a time of talking about life. It is facilitated by college-age adults and adults who love pouring into the youth. The idea is to further develop a community of young men and women who seek God together and spur one another on towards love and good deeds – to become more and more anchored in Christ through unity in the body.

From Your Pastor, February 2010
Jan 26th, 2010
Dear Family,
Jesus had a small group of men to which He ministered. He spent time with them and they got to know one another and share their experiences for around three years. The world was changed because of the strategy that Jesus used with these men. His disciples truly were taught of the Lord Jesus and they allowed the Holy Spirit to touch them and lead them through their lives after Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension.
God can minister to you and me through small groups, too. Wouldn’t you like for your life to be changed and enriched by the Spirit of the Lord? I know that God has a plan for each of us and I believe He is using our small groups to help reveal that plan in our lives. I hope you’re planning to be part of one of the great opportunities we have available this semester. God has already used small groups to increase the spiritual growth, as well as the attendance, of our church. Many of us are already benefiting from the great teaching that is being offered. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in His Kingdom right here in NABC.
Your pastor, friend, and growing fellow-believer,
Bill
