Growth Groups University Students We love university students at NCBC and invite you to come along to our Sunday services (10 am or 5 pm) and join one of our weekly Bible study groups (Growth Groups) with students, young workers and others. If you want to investigate the basics of Christianity and who Jesus is and why he matters, you’d also be welcome to join one of our regular upcoming explore courses (ie. Christianity Explored, Hope Explored, etc). We also have STUMP (Student Meeting Place). This is currently our online forum for connecting students at NCBC for friendship, socialising and other activities. So do visit us at NCBC and meet other university students and our wider church community of people from Australia and across the globe! Have further questions? Need help when you arrive in Canberra?

Sexual intimacy outside such a marriage relationship is incompatible with God’s intention for us as his people. Position Statement on Congregational Governance Each local Baptist church is made up of all those who by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ have been born again and publicly acknowledged their allegiance to Jesus as Lord. Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the local church has received Christ’s authority to govern its worship, fellowship and service in accordance with scriptural principles, the whole church being finally responsible for its governance. Nevertheless, within each local church Christ has provided servant leaders, gifted through the Holy Spirit to build up the local church to maturity in Christ and engage in the ongoing mission of Christ. The local church identifies and appoints these servant leaders to positions of honour and responsibility, with delegated authority to act for the local church within parameters defined by the congregation. Position Statement on Local Church Autonomy and Healthy Association Each local Baptist church is autonomous and subject to no external authority to determine its doctrine, worship, objects, and values as it has understood the scriptures to determine these matters. Nevertheless, Baptist churches usually choose to associate together to mutually discern the mind of Christ so that in a partnership of support and care based on shared convictions, objects and values, together we might more effectively engage in mission and represent Christ to the world in which we live and serve.

Growth Groups Growth Groups Throughout the week, we meet together in small groups to read the bible, pray together and catch up.
