NazFamily Church

This Sunday

“These people who have been turning the world upside down have come here also…” (Acts 17:6b) One of the primary accusations against early Christians was that they were part of a radical movement committed to changing the world. Jesus didn’t come to start a stale institution. He came to announce His rule and reign. He came to initiate a kingdom movement that would turn lives around and flip the world upside down. We are invited, not to come sit in a service, but to become part of the revolution. Join the Kingdom Revolution this Sunday at NazFamily Church!

Healing & Revival Weekend - “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.” (Matthew 9:35) We believe that He still heals today. Pastor Paul Baskin will lead a special healing and revival weekend at NazFamily Church on March 19-21. Services will be at 6:30pm on Friday & Saturday, and 10:00am on Sunday.

SNU Pastor’s Forum - NazFamily will be a host site for the SNU Spring Pastor’s Forum on March 8th with Dr. Lenny Luchetti. He serves as Professor of Proclamation and Christian Ministry at Wesley Seminary and is responsible for the development and teaching of the preaching courses the seminary offers. Dr. Luchetti is the author of Preaching Essentials: A Practical Guide, which was honored by Outreach Magazine and Preaching Magazine as one of the best books on preaching in 2012-13. He’s also recently written Preaching with Empathy: Crafting Sermons in a Callous Culture.
