Evangelism Ministry - “Loving God…Loving People”

Christian Evangelism is a loving act done by biblical methods. Our love for God and His love for us can ignite powerful evangelism

Servant evangelism is a simple straight forward approach to sharing God's love in simple practical ways that everyone can do. Evangelism is the commitment to spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. NSMBC strives to make evangelism a way of life for members who are trained to share God’s word to the community and to share their faith. (Matthew 28:19)

Hospitality

The Hospitality Ministry creates an atmosphere of love and fellowship for everyone who enters the sanctuary. It consists of meeters and greeters. Serve the Lord with Gladness (Psalm 100:2)

Phone

The Phone Ministry makes phone calls to members who are in need of prayer, who are unable to attend services and are in bereavement.

Ushers

The Ushers Ministry strives to serve the Lord through serving His people. With warm smiles the Ushers welcome members and guests into the sanctuary and provide church bulletins and assist with seating during worship services and church activities. They will also serve as doorkeepers at special programs and all funerals. An usher has the heart of a servant, who works for our Lord (Colossians 3:24).

Fellowship Ministry

Fellowship involves partnership and union with Christians in the support of the Gospel and charitable work of the church (2 Cor. 8:4). The following are “sub” ministries under the primary ministry of fellowship:

Men’s Ministry

The goal of this ministry is to reach out to the inactive men of the Church and encourage their involvement in an organized and structured program that meets God’s standards and is consistent with the Pastor’s vision for the Church. Also to reach out to unsaved men. (2 Tim. 2:15; Eph. 6:10-18).

Deacon Ministry

Consists of men whose primary focus is serving God under the leadership of the Pastor in the practical ministry of the Church. They loyally support and encourage the Pastor and faithfully attend the services of the Church (Acts 6:1-6; 2 Tim. 3:8-13).

Prayer Ministry (Cards)

When made aware of a member’s illness, an appropriate card is sent on behalf of the congregation informing the member the congregation is praying for their recovery. Cards are also sent acknowledging birthday, anniversaries, and achievements. Pastor is made aware of any prayer requests. The purpose is to ensure the members they are part of a caring and loving family.

The nurse arranges for life saving classes to be presented periodically through authorized agencies (e.g. American Heart Association, etc) for interested members.
