NPBC Noonday Bible Study started August 6 and will end December 17, 2025. – JOIN US FOR AN EXPOSITORY PRESENTATION OF THE EIGHTEEN ARTICLES OF FAITH!  Even today it is not easy being a Christian, but we must find a way to live our faith without compromise. All of us have faith, but will your anchor of faith hold in the storms of life? Is your anchor of faith a true anchor? Is your faith built upon the truth of scripture? Is your faith tested? Do you know how valuable, revealing and full of love, a faith in
Christ is? Is your faith timeless, or will the newest fad or the latest philosophy cause you to tie to a new anchor? Only a faith in Christ is true, tested, and timeless. Our time to live our faith is now!  NPBC Noonday Bible Study will be available every Wednesday at 12:00 Noon. (Dial 848-220-3300. Access code 7266492#)
