Hey NHCC!
If we haven’t met yet, my name’s Brandon and I get to be the new Student Director here at NHCC! I’m excited to be a part of this community and to get the privilege of pointing students to Jesus. Outside of ministry, I love playing video games, reading and working out. I want to love golfing, fishing, hiking and going to sports games, but I’m completely new to them, so I’m open to any tips you’ve got! Fun fact about me: I can write with both hands.
A little bit of my background: I grew up in Orange County, California and have been an avid Jesus follower ever since I can remember. When I got into high school, I fell in love with volunteering in youth ministry and felt God putting it on my heart to pursue it full-time. Though I graduated from California Baptist University in 2023 with a degree in Software Engineering, it was never my passion like pouring into the next generation of Christians, and so I spent the next couple of years pursuing training in youth ministry—first for a year in Northern California and then for the past year in Arizona—and learned a lot through those two experiences. When I got the chance to fly out here a little over a month ago to see what NHCC was all about, I instantly fell in love with the church and knew this was where I wanted to be for the next season of my life.
I am looking forward to being a part of the community here at NHCC and being on the front lines of how God moves in the lives of your teens! Feel free to say hi the next time you see me around!

"FIXER UPPER" shows have been all the rage for over a decade, each one featuring some trendy spin on the same idea: a messy, ugly, or otherwise un-useful house is transformed under the care of someone with the vision and passion to give it new life. Throughout the scriptures, we see a similar and compelling pattern: people encounter a living and loving God, and they experience a transformation—a better path, a clearer purpose, a second chance… a new life. Join us in these coming weeks as we look at several people in the Bible whose lives were given the fixer-upper treatment through the masterful care of God’s amazing grace.
STUDENT POOL PARTY: Students, join us for a "farewell" pool party to show Parker how much he has meant to us before he heads off on his new adventure in Florida.
