Community Q & A
NorthShore offers two distinct services for guests,
attenders and members—Thursday evening New Community
Services and Sunday morning Celebration Services.
What’s with the
name? We call the service "New Community"
because it is the new Christian’s new family. When a
person begins a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
at a Sunday Celebration Service, they find their
"new community" of worship, faith, fellowship
and ministry on Thursday night.
What’s the
difference in the two services? The New Community
Worship Service helps believers grow into fully devoted
followers of Jesus Christ. The messages given at the
Thursday evening services include in-depth teaching from
the Bible and are designed to enhance and deepen
spiritual growth.
Weekend Celebration
Services at NorthShore are designed to present basic
truths of the Christian faith at an introductory level,
and to convey NorthShore's underlying theme--"God
loves and cares for you." They contain timeless
truths which are meaningful to those investigating
Christianity and to believers alike. The services address
relational, financial, career, and spiritual issues--the
very real issues people face everyday.
Should I come to both
services? Yes! If you are a Christian, then New
Community is especially for you. It is a worship time
designed to encourage you and help you grow in your walk
with Christ.
Which service should I
invite my friends to? Always invite your friends to
the Sunday Celebration Services. They are designed to
introduce your friends to Jesus Christ. We take this
trust very seriously. We do our best to present Christian
truth with relevance and creativity. All of our services
use the full spectrum of art and media to accomplish
these purposes.
What do we do at New
Community? At New Community, we sing much more than
we do on Sunday. We do this because it is a time for
worship, and there’s no better way to worship God
than through music. We often share communion together,
and watch as new believers are baptized. And New
Community is a great time for fellowship. We sometimes
share a potluck dinner together before the service.
How often do we have
New Community? New Community presently meets monthly
on Thursday nights. When we have our own facilities, our
future plans call for weekly New Community services.
Where do we meet for
NC? Right now, we meet at First Baptist Church in
Flower Mound. From Cross Timbers Road, turn north on
Morriss Road and head towards Marcus High School. First
Baptist Church is on the right.
What about the kids?
We provide childcare for bed babies, toddlers and
preschoolers. Children in grades 1-5 come to the service
with their parents to participate in the service as a
family.
Action Plan. It
takes some planning, but consider attending this
month’s New Community Worship Service on October
23rd at 7:00 p.m. You may be tired when you come, but you
will leave refreshed.
