In conjunction with Gosford City Council, Central Coast Leagues Club and a number of other churches on the Central Coast, NVBC is involved in the Donnison St Outreach, which seeks to feed, honour and befriend those who are homeless in the Gosford area.
Volunteers from NVBC often provide over 100 meals each Wednesday evening and in addition, have on-going connections with the homeless of Gosford throughout the week.
As the name implies, the outreach is located in Donnison St., Gosford.
Friendship Club is committed to the ministry of reaching out to people with mental illness by providing a safe and enjoyable environment where everyone feels welcome and can experience God's love and acceptance.
Each Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 12:00 we meet at Liberty Church in Gosford to socialise through games (rummicub, scrabble, cards etc.), craft, table tennis or just chatting. Morning tea is provided.

As Narara has grown, we have increasingly become aware that it is difficult to know everyone in the church in a deep way. Knowing a few hundred people in a significant way is almost impossible. However it is possible to know 6-12 people well.
In light of this, Growth Groups have increasingly formed an important foundation to our identity and mission as a church.
Each week groups of 6-12 meet in homes across the Central Coast. They are on various days and at various times so that as many people as possible can be a part of a Growth Group.
The purpose of Growth Groups at Narara can be best summarized using the acrostic A,B,C,D:
Authentic relationships Bible Study Care Dedicated Prayer
