For 6th–12th Graders
Wednesday Evenings
6:30–8:30PM
NC4 Bethlehem Campus
Dinner Served @ 6:30PM
An opportunity to engage youth in a way outside the paradigm of traditional church, The EDGE occurs every Wednesday night from 6:30–8:30PM at our Bethlehem Campus (unless otherwise noted). We want to be a place of Every Day God Encounters, where teens experience the overwhelming love of Christ. 6th–12th graders enter an environment where they can ask hard questions, be their authentic selves, and build healthy relationships with peers. During this time, we play games, study the Bible, eat snacks, worship, and connect in small groups. Come join us! Get ready, the journey of knowing Christ is an adventure. When you’re living on the EDGE, there is no other Way.

Expect food, games, laughter, and quality time with peers, youth leaders, and sometimes even NC4 youth parents, in a welcoming atmosphere!

Ladies, who’s ready to shake off those winter blues and get a little pampered? Join us for our Winter Pampering Event, happening Saturday, February 18th, at NC4 Bethlehem.

But don’t forget to enjoy some of those “ahhhh” moments like manicures, stretching sessions, creating together, light refreshments, and more! We will also be teaming up with local ministry Bloom to hear more about the work they do here in the valley. This is a great multigenerational event; we just ask that you individually register each person attending. So make sure to register HERE by February 12th!

Wednesday Evenings
3/1–3/29 • 7–8:30PM
NC4 Bethlehem Campus
Do you find yourself too busy or stressed to do what you really value? Does your tank often feel empty, but you have little or no time to pray or rest or do what fulfills your sense of purpose? God has given each of us 5 important resources at our disposal—our time, energy, money, abilities, and relationships. NC4’s Prioritize Your Life Workshop is your chance to make a real change by creating your personal stewardship plan based on your Christian calling and mission—all within the boundaries of your unique set of resources. This is a 5-week workshop that will meet at NC4 Bethlehem every Wednesday evening of March, from 7–8:30PM. There’s no cost to attend, but we ask that you please register HERE, so we have enough materials. Childcare will be provided from ages 3–10 years old, so please indicate on the registration form if you need it.
