NTBC-Students
Our NTBC Students group is where teens gather, grow, and go deeper in their relationship with Christ. Led by Youth Pastor Chris Vardaman, this group is designed to meet students where they are—spiritually, emotionally, and socially—through relevant Bible teaching, authentic relationships, and exciting activities.
From Sunday morning lessons to midweek discipleship and unforgettable events like retreats, camps, and outreach opportunities, students are encouraged to live boldly for Christ and build friendships that last a lifetime. Whether you’re new or have been attending for years, there’s a place for you here.
Come be part of something real. Discover truth. Find purpose. Make lasting memories.
Will I know anyone there?
Maybe — but even if you don’t, you’ll feel like you do by the time you leave! Our small groups are all about connection, and we go out of our way to make sure no one feels left out.
What do we actually do in a small group?
We hang out, eat snacks, play games, dive into real conversations, and talk about how God’s Word connects to everyday life. It’s chill, honest, and meaningful — not just another class.
Is it okay if I don’t talk much at first?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to just come, listen, and get comfortable. No pressure. We get that opening up takes time.
Can I be honest about what I’m struggling with?
Yes — 100%. This is a judgment-free zone. You don’t have to pretend to have it all together. We’re here to encourage each other, not impress each other
Do I have to come every week?
Nope — but we think you’ll want to. Come when you can, and know you’ll always be welcomed back with open arms.
