Our Values

Any organisation...any group...any culture have things that are important to them...things they value...things they hold dear...things they want to shape them. NCB is no different...there are things that matter to us...things that we pray will shape us and influence who we are and what we do.

Some of these include (but aren't limited to):

The Gospel: The Bible tells us that the gospel (or good news) is about a person...it's about Jesus. The gospel is about what God has done and is doing through Jesus. The good news is that God welcomes and forgives messed up people. The gospel tells us that there is nothing we can do to make ourselves right with God...but that God has done something for us. The gospel tells us that from before eternity God has been working out his plan...a plan centred upon Jesus. We desire the gospel...the good news about Jesus...to shape and affect all that we are and do.

The Bible: We believe the Bible is God's word to us. We believe it is true and timeless. We believe it teaches us all we need to know about God, about Jesus, and about his purposes for us and for his world. So we seek to understand it, to teach it, to discuss it, to grapple with it, and to obey it. You'll find that the Bible plays a large part in what we do.

People: Quite simply...people matter to God. So we want to relfect that in all we do. We want to welcome, care for, love, support, and encourage. We won't condemn or judge. But we will always spur people on to hear and respond to the truth about God and Jesus.
