2026 "I Will Follow" Reading Plan
As we begin 2026, we invite you to join our year-long Scripture Reading Plan centered on the theme “I Will Follow.” Each month, we’ll explore the life of a biblical character whose story shows what it truly means to follow God with trust, obedience, and surrender.
The plan includes a short monthly introduction and three to four Scripture passages designed to be approachable, reflective, and formative—helping us grow together as disciples of Jesus.
📖 Access the reading plan at nmp.church by clicking NMPC Reading Plan, or through the NMP.Church App.

Monthly Prayer Night
11/20/26
Join us for our next Koinonia Prayer Night on Friday, November 20 @ 7PM. To ensure enough food is prepared, please be sure to RSVP.
Koinonia in Greek means "fellowship." In the Bible, however, fellowship means much more than what modern Christians have made it. It involves intimacy in relationship and a deep spiritual camaraderie that involves prayer, mutual encouragement & edification, and the breaking of bread. This prayer night is designed to reflect the spirit of that word and to meet people where they are, similar to what we see in the Book of Acts.
