NazFamily Church

This Sunday - One hot summer growing up I was desperate to go swimming. We didn’t have a pool at our house and my parents were always busy. However, there was a health club nearby that had a really nice pool. The only problem was, it was restricted to members only. I didn’t have access. But I did have a friend whose family had a membership and he could bring in one guest. I couldn’t get in on my own, but he could give me access. That is what Christ has done for us! He has unlimited access to the Father. As long as we’re with Him we can get in and swim in the grace of God. Join us at NazFamily this Sunday as we discover what it means to have Unrestricted Access!

MidWeek Service - “The suspect is armed and considered dangerous.” We are regularly reminded that we live in a dangerous world. As unsettling as the news may be, Paul tells us that current events are part of a deeper, spiritual struggle that has been going on for centuries. We cannot remain passive, but must prepare for spiritual battle each and every day. Join us this Wednesday @ 6:30 p.m. as we become fully armed for the battle.

Uplift Big Spring - The PBOEM will be hosting a community outreach event at NazFamily Church on Saturday, April 24th from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. There will be a blood drive, vision screenings, food boxes, prayer and more! Come help us serve our community together. Spread the word!

Connect - If you would like to begin a vibrant relationship with God as a follower of Jesus, or if you would like to learn more about how you can get involved at NazFamily Church, one of our pastors would love to talk to you. Please contact us at church@nazfamily.org.
