Hey NHCC Friends and Family, Brandon here!

Spring’s a-coming, and we’ve got a few things on the horizon you won’t want to miss out on!

On Friday night, March 27th, you won’t want to miss out as a group from Johnson University presents ‘Easter: Stories and Songs’ here at our church building! At 7PM, you can expect the Johnson crew (including Milla Harrington!) to share music and stories centered on Jesus’ last week on earth. Be there for this free event as we focus in on Jesus leading up to Easter!

Additionally, in case you missed it, CIY 2026 registration for teens launched this weekend! If you’re not familiar, CIY Summer Camps are a chance for students to step away from the distractions of everyday life and spend a handful of days having a blast and talking about Jesus. It is an absolute highlight for the students every year!

We’ll be going to CIY Mix with our current 5th-7th graders July 13th-17th.

CIY Move is for current 8th-12th graders June 10th-14th.

But whatever age you are, we’re hoping to have y’all here this Sunday as Ethan continues our message series, “Walk This Way”!

See you soon!

Jesus is recorded saying things like, "Come follow me... learn from me… take my yoke upon you...” The earliest followers of Jesus took words like these to heart as they met together in homes as the first Church, embracing ways of living that mirrored their Savior and would change the world. Join us for this message series where we will explore some timeless practices, disciplines, and rhythms we can allow to take root in our lives… because when we begin to follow Jesus, to learn from Him, and to take on his way of life, it has the power to transform who we are for a lifetime.

STUDENT NIGHTS | 9th-12th graders are invited to come Sunday nights from 6:30-8pm as we hang out, hear a message, and meet in small groups to build community and talk about Jesus. 6th-8th graders meet Sunday morning during our worship service. Questions? Contact Brandon.

EASTER - STORIES & SONGS | Join us on Friday, March 27 at 7pm as a hand-picked team from Johnson University presents an evening of intimate, folk-style musicianship and thoughtful storytelling centered around Jesus’ final week, looking back to the humility of His birth and forward to the glory of His Kingdom. This program has been performed in colleges and coffeehouses, in megachurches and small country congregations, in cathedrals and on front porches, in concert halls and prisons, serving as a powerful reminder that there is no place the story of the resurrection is out of place. Invite friends & family—don’t miss this special evening!
