"Joshua: Courage for Everyday People"
Adult Bible Bible Study
Hosted/led by Jason and Gina Culver
Together we'll discover how our story today isn't too far removed from Joshua and the Israelites: we need the same strength, courage, and faith to face the challenges in our lives. Let's learn what it means to follow God faithfully, no matter what obstacles are before you.
Adults only, please.
Tuesdays // 7:00 PM
"2 Corinthians: Authentic Christianity"
Adult Bible Study
Hosted/led by Paul and Alisha Stringari
So, what does a successful life look like in the kingdom of God? Together, we'll learn how opening ourselves up in genuine relationships with others invites the power of Jesus to shine through our weaknesses. We don’t have to clean up our weaknesses before God and others - we invite them in.
Adults only, please.
Tuesdays // 6:30 PM
"7 Challenges" Men's Bible Study
Led by Mike Gould
NLC Conference Room
Our present culture is redefining manhood and confusing men in their pursuit of Biblical manhood. But how will you respond? What will you say and do when the world demands a response? Discover how to respond by rejecting passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, loving unconditionally, living with integrity, serving humbly, and investing eternally.
Wednesdays // 6:30 PM
Men's Bible Study
Led by David Pope
NLC Conference Room
Let's gather together to learn what it means to be Men of Purpose, equipped and determined to stay the course of what God has designated for our lives. Come to be encouraged and resourced!
In the face of the mounting pressures, expectations, and the many requirements of our lives, spend time with brothers who will pray for you and encourage you as you seek truth and encouragement together.

"One at a Time" Adult Bible Study
Hosted by Brent and Hosanna Wagner
Wagner home in Springfield (Thurston)
"Am I making any difference in this world?" We want to make a difference, but there are so many opinions on the way to do that. Maybe there’s a different way to make a difference, and we’re just missing it. Without a doubt, Jesus is the person who has made the biggest difference in all of history. So, how did Jesus make such a difference in this world? If we study the story of his life as recorded in the Gospels, there are a number of answers we could highlight, but there’s one particular phrase that captures how Jesus had such an impact, and this phrase is how he wants to use us to make a difference: one at a time.
Adults only, please, with a special welcome to those who are newer to NLC.
Fridays // 6:30 PM
Adult Fellowship Group
