I am writing this article just before heading out to go to our Youth Camp at Lake Yale Baptist Assembly in Leesburg, Florida. Lake Yale is the place where my life changed as a teenage boy.

Please be praying that the Holy Spirit would work in every heart and life and that our teenagers would come home surrendered fully to God’s will for…

This past Sunday the church tasked the Nominating Committee to bring back a recommended Vision Committee for our church. One of the reasons that I believe this is a great idea is that we are out of Life Group space. We are fast approaching being out of worship space. We are so grateful and thankful for every person who has come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior in recent days, and we are thankful also for folks that have…

I want to encourage every person who’s a part of our fellowship to get plugged into a Life Group. I am particularly excited because our adult Life Groups are all going to be teaching the same material in the month of March. I have asked our leaders to teach The Five Assurances. These are: The assurance of 1) salvation 2) answered prayer 3) victory 4) forgiveness and 5) guidance. By having these assurances nailed down from God’s Word, think of…

Happy New Year! What a blessing it is to enter a brand new year.

We are also thankful for our wonderful staff that is working so hard to equip each member of North Central to…

Dear Church Family, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! It’s true. The birth of Jesus is so very special to us. It is what set into motion the plan of God from way back that Jesus would come and die for the sins of the world. We have lots of things happening in the life of our church that is all for the purpose of enhancing the Christmas season. Let’s keep our focus on the Lord Jesus…
