A Night of Unity

On Sunday night NVBC had the privilege to host a Coast Baptists Combined Worship and Prayer night. And what a night it was!! It was a beautiful expression of oneness and Gospel unity as around 450 people gathered onsite from Baptist Churches right across the Central Coast.

On the night we heard stories of the way Coast Baptist Churches are partnering together to invest in emerging leaders, pray for the Central Coast and work collaboratively to reach those who don't yet know Jesus in our growing region. There continues to be a shared sense that God is working in an undeniable way in our generation and that we must each give ourselves fully to our calling to be on mission together with Jesus!

To get a taste of the specialness of the night, have a listen to a little snippet of our auditorium filled with the voices of worshippers from the combined churches.

A big thank you to all who volunteered to help make this night happen, and an extra special shout out to the Catering Team for cooking and serving hundreds of people incredibly well!

Ministry Highlight: Flourish Hampers

A big thank you to all who brought in non-perishable food over the past few weeks to contribute to serving the needs of those experiencing homelessness in the Central Coast.

On Saturday afternoon some of our wonderful ladies of NVBC joined together for a time of afternoon tea, packing hampers together and praying over those who will receive them hampers. The hampers will now be distributed through Health on the Streets and the proceeds from the event will be donated to this important local community work.

New Song for Sunday

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things, and by your will they were created

and have their being.” - Revelation 4:11

This Sunday we are introducing a newly released song to our Sunday Services. To be uplifted in your faith and to become a little familiar with it ahead of singing together, we encourage you to have a listen to this live recording beforehand.
