1.  Services

Our focus is on reaching people through services that will strengthen their faith and encourage them to live an abundant life.

“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known..”  Ephesians 3:10 (NIV)

“I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord.”  Psalm 122:1 (NLT)

We are friendly and family-oriented.  We believe that when you bring your friends and/or family:

• They will experience God’s presence;
• They will feel God’s love; and
• They will be empowered to live the best life.

2.  Growth

We offer information and experiences necessary to develop you into a fully devoted follower of Christ.  From the initial decision to accept Jesus as your Lord to your final destination in ministry and leadership.

“… let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity…” Hebrews 6:1 NIV

NDM GROWTH TRACK PLAN:

Church 101:  This class is a basic introduction to the ministry of NDM.  It will help you understand church membership.  Church 101 is held once a month on the first Sunday (as needed).

Essentials 201:  This class develops the essential habits that every believer needs to become a fully de-voted follower of Jesus Christ. Essentials 201 is held once a month on the second Sunday (as needed).

Discovery 301:  This class will help you discover your personality, gifts, and purpose in life, and see how God combines them for the best fit in ministry.  Discovery is held once a month on the third Sunday (as needed).

Dream Team 401: Attend an orientation or training session in the ministry area of your choice to learn more or to join the Dream Team.  Dream Team 401 is held once a month on the fourth Sunday (as needed).

God’s ultimate goal for our life is to make an eternal difference in the life of another per-son.  The Growth Track is complete when you join or start a ministry team.

3.  Connect Groups

We believe that our church must become larger and smaller at the same time.

“You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.”  Acts 20:20 NIV

For our Connect Group, we offer the following:

Celebrate Recovery – grief, sex, addictions, abortion, insecurities, discouragement

4.  Dream Team

All of us were created by God to make a difference in the life of another person.  God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can touch the lives of others.  We believe that your life will never make sense until you find, develop, and fulfill that purpose.

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”  Ephesians 2:10 NIV

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me…”  Acts 20:24 NIV

“Now God gives us many kinds of special abilities…and there are different kinds of service to God (ministry)…All of you together form the one Body of Christ and each of you is a separate and nec-essary part of it.”  1 Corinthians 12:4-5, 27 (LB)

AT NDM:

…every member is a Minister.

…every task is Important.

…every member is a “10” in Some Area.

5.  Outreach

We focus on reaching out to our world as Jesus commanded, and being compassionate followers of Christ.

“Then Jesus said to them, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell everyone the Good News.”  Mark 16:15 (GW)

“Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the home-less and loveless in their plight…”  James 1:27 Message

“… you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”  Acts 1:8 NIV
