Adult Growth and Education

Home Groups

Home Groups are a place of relationship, growth and hands-on ministry. These least-seen, yet very important meetings are times of personal growth and healing.

Our home group ministries meet in host homes on a twice-a-month basis. We have groups available in Coral Springs, Parkland, Tamarac, and Margate. Please contact the church office to find a group near you.

The Alpha Course

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets on Friday evenings for thirteen weeks, and includes a time of impartation from the church leaders. Each session, people enjoy laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile…questions like—Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

Alpha is for anyone…anyone who thinks there may be more to life than meets the eye.

People attend from all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints. They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, the afterlife, the claims of Jesus and more. Some people want to get beyond religion and find a relationship with God that really changes life. Others come for the close, long-lasting friendships that are built during the Alpha course.

Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Everyone is welcome.

Celebrate Recovery

What is Celebrate Recovery?

Our society is becoming more and more complex. Kids now have three sets of grandparents. Sexual addiction for men and women is growing at an exponential rate. Divorce is at an all time high — for Christians.

This is our reality.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery ministry is to bring God's healing power to that negative reality. To that end, we fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our lifes' problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.

Have you reached that place where you are ready to admit your powerlessness because your life has become unmanageable?

There is a place to find victory over your hurts, hang-ups, and habits: Celebrate Recovery. Call the office at NDCC for additional information.
