  • What's the style of worship?

    .We love a wide range of Gospel music from traditional to contemporary. We are passionate and expressive in worship and open to the move of the Spirit. However, we believe the preaching of God’s Word is a central component of gathered worship.

  • Will I be welcomed if I don't wear a suit/dress?

    When you visit NCMBC, you’ll see folks wearing their Sunday’s best, and others dressed more casually. We don’t care what you wear, as long as it’s modest—whether three-piece or jeans; dress and church hat or blouse and khakis. Come as you are.

  • How long do your services last?

    Our virtual Wednesday evening Bible study is an hour long. Sunday school is roughly 45-60 minutes long. Our Sunday morning worship begins at 10AM and ends between 11:45AM and 12PM.

  • Why do you use the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible?

    We teach from the ESV, Because we believe this “word-for-word” translation is better suited to expositional teaching, which is the way we teach the Bible at NCMBC. Expositional teaching is focused on explaining the meaning of a Biblical text in its historical and grammatical context, with application for our present-day.

    The ESV seeks to retain strength of “formal” translation, while at the same time smoothing out word choice and order so that it is more easily read and understood privately and publicly.
