Making Disciples That Make Disciples.

NMCU Core and Workshops

In NMCU Core, you'll move through a set sequence of classes and learn about the big picture of Scripture around tables in a community to equip you to follow Jesus more faithfully and to share what you believe with others. We want to make disciples who make disciples. Each semester is ten weeks and goes in sequential order.

NMCU Workshops are designed to give you practical ideas for being effective in how they learn, love, and live. Workshops are one to two weeks long and discuss topics such as parenting tactics, Bible study tools, and how to care for others. Explore our upcoming workshops here.

NT 2 - The Letters

We will look at the second half of the New Testament and learn about the earliest letters sent to the earliest followers of Jesus gathered as the earliest churches. We will examine their content, introduce their authors, and come to understand the implications and applications for today and how they, too, help hold the Bible together, point to Jesus, and instruct us on how to follow Jesus faithfully.

NMCU 201 - Coming September 2024

Inward Life

Having established a foundation of the Bible and solidified some basic theology (what we believe, think, and speak about the Triune God), we will then discuss matters of internal life and how, through a biblical perspective and worldview, we address and respond to them. In this, we will discuss, prayer, fasting, scripture reading, memorization, spiritual gifts, mental health, forgiveness, anxiety, and sexuality.

NMCU 202

Outward Living

Having established a foundation of the Bible and solidified some basic theology (what we believe, think, and speak about the Triune God), we will then discuss how we are to live as faithful followers of Jesus. In this, we will discuss how we treat people, resources, finances, and the world around us. We will also discuss evangelism, missions, apologetics, and Gospel unity. Everything we do in semesters 1-4 will build into semesters 5 and 6.
