At NRBC, we believe that God calls you to serve Him in a special way.  As you understand where He calls you, we will come alongside and help equip you to be successful in that area of service.

The equipping ministry is led by a team of people who provide an opportunity and process through which individuals can identify their S.H.A.P.E. (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and life experiences).  Through a Discovery Class, guidance and training are provided in identifying a place of service that fits your individual S.H.A.P.E.  We also provide an opportunity to receive ongoing encouragement, recognition, and celebration of serving God in the area of ministry that provides joy and fulfillment.

The equipping ministry at Noland Road Baptist Church is here to "prepare God's people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up" (Eph 4:12).  The Equipping Ministry Coordinator is Jana Waits.

"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."  James 1:22

We are about transforming lives through Christ at Noland Road Baptist Church.  As you grow in Christ, we desire to help you find a place to serve that best fits the gifts, passions, and interests that God has placed in you! 

Here are some messages from our members that have been a part of the Discovery Classes:

• Cindy McCloud:  After being involved in church my entire life, I reached a point of uncertainty with my service to the Lord.  I took the Discovery Class in hopes of gaining new insights to where God wanted me to serve.  The experience was wonderful!  I am now serving as an Ambassador and serving in the Women's Ministry team through Missions.  I have a new peace serving where God wants me to be at this time of my life.
• Tim Johnson:  This class helped me to discover my place and function within this local expression of the Body of Christ.  Since completing the class, I have begun to plug into several ministries.  Taking this class was the first step in my ongoing journey to becoming an integral member of NRBC.  Begin your journey by taking the class and discovering what God has in store for you.

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."  ~1 Peter 4:10
