A Pastoral Perspective

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… (Hosea 4:6a CSB)


A growing church is an informed church. As we continue to grow spiritually and numerically, knowing what is going on in our church helps us to do Kingdom business in a spirit of excellence. Our audio/video and social media ministries are doing a good job of making the members aware of what’s going on in our church. 


In addition, our NPG Emails, website, and Weekend reports provide essential information. The daily commentary, “God’s Word for NPG Today,” was established to be a source of spiritual encouragement. 


Our commitment to keeping you informed is unchanging. While we understand that Sunday is a day of worship, we also recognize the importance of staying updated about the church and community. The 'Grove News on Straight Street' is a work in progress, and we are striving to find the best timing. For now, during the month of September, they will be after the MOB room video.


Knowledge can be a powerful tool for ministry. This is the purpose of having different communication resources. But if these sources are not viewed and used, they are of minimum value. So, please take advantage of what our church offers to keep you updated on activities and events.
