It is you, it is me, it is individuals living everyday life in community with each other and the world around us. It is getting coffee together, watching a movie, discussing a book or a passage of scripture, sharing an interest, passion, or skill with those around us, encouraging one another in our journey of faith. That is the "church". That is the body of Christ, whether it takes on the form of scrapbooking, service outreaches, Bible studies, prayer, video games, softball, book clubs, drama, hunting, or even just deep conversations. We are to live life together, and in the process create meaningful, long lasting relationships that look past what the world sees and connect us heart to heart, making us family. Making us the body of Christ. Making us His church. life.groups by daySunday Worship Leading 101 Brandon Griffin 12:30pm the 1st Sunday of each month This is for anyone who has a heart for worship that aspires to lead worship.

One of the many ways we carry out this vision, is through our Compassion Ministry. The NHV Compassion Ministry shares God's love to the community outside our church through the unity of those inside our church.Who we are We are just like you! We are fathers, mothers, grandparents, singles and youth. We are young and old, working and retired. We are God's servants bringing our faith alive, sharing our love and time with others in their time of need.What we believe We believe the love of God looks and feels more real as we show love and care to others. "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me...."

Other simple things that could make a big difference include: Cooking a meal Donating an unused furniture item Driving someone to a doctor's appointment Taking smiles to someone stuck at home or in the hospital Buying a few extra groceries for a family short on funds In the body of Christ EVERY member is equipped to serve in some way whether it be large or small.

However, it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

He was raised up by the Episcopals, saved by the Baptists, discipled by the Bible Church, hired up by the Presbyterians and FIRED UP by the Charismatics. This diverse background molded him into a Pastor who has strong convictions about what he believes and yet a tender heart for those who might disagree. As a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, he has a solid biblical foundation that God combined with the fire of His Holy Spirit to create a man uniquely prepared to pastor New Horizon Vineyard. Cliff has been married to his precious wife Robbi for over 25 years and they have three young adult children, Corley, James and Lindy.Who to Contact You may contact our pastor, Cliff King directly at 972.475.7511 or email cking@nhvineyard.com Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:26:04 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27&article_id=29 Bless Be The Tie That Binds This page will give us the opportunity to keep up with the needs and concerns of members that are temporarily located away from their homes and families.

Please watch the church bulletin for details or check out What's Happening @ NHV (in the About Us section on the left). You may also get there from here. What We Do The Target Shooting event is open to men starting as young as 16 and any age beyond that. We welcome new and seasoned shooters alike. We shoot skeet and trap on the shotgun fields. And we shoot targets with pistols and rifles. We offer pointers for new folks and remain open to learning from each other. You'll need about $20 to cover various range fees and your meal during our 'bragging' time afterwards. And of course bring whatever firearms you own and plenty of ammo. This is the ultimate in male-bonding. Our Hunting excursions require a lot more planning. We hunt anything from deer to various fowl and even wild boars. When we Fish, we like to rent a pontoon boat and take a large group all at one time. But again, these events require a lot more planning. Please let us know of your interest in any of our Men's events. Who to Contact For more information, please contact our Men's Ministry Leader at men@nhvineyard.com Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:04:32 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=67 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=67&article_id=59 When We Meet We meet on the LAST Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm in the church parking lot. We usually head to the theatre in Rockwall. This is our chance to watch the good shoot-em-ups or crackpot comedies that somehow our significant others never want to see. What We Do Depending on when the movie starts, we occasionally can grab something quick to eat just before the movie. The movie usually lets out a bit late so some of us spend time reviewing the movie while standing around in the parking lot. While others head out for a late snack. All in all, it's another opportunity for some male bonding. Who to Contact For more information, please contact our Men's Ministry Leader at men@nhvineyard.com Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:02:30 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=66 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=66&article_id=58 When We Meet We meet on the 1st Saturday of each month at 7:30 am in the church parking lot. We sometimes get a treat when the ladies want to prepare breakfast for a bunch of guys. But we'll be honest, this doesn't happen all that often. But hey a guy's gotta eat, so we fend for ourselves by heading out to any local diner. We oftentimes change it up, that's why we always start in the church parking lot. Who is Welcome Guys of all ages are encouraged to be a part of this. We all learn something from each other. In the process, everyone gets blessed and grows closer. Should you be in a bit of a rough spot, please don't let a lack of funds stop you. There is always a brother willing to support another. Just let one of us know if you could use a little help. What We Do We sometimes use the time to plan our next Outdoorsmen event (you may get to that section from here.) But we usually have a topic for discussion that everyone gets to participate in. It's a great time to be seen and heard by others who really understand a guy's life.

If you do, we'd like to know about them. Our ministry team truly loves to visit the elderly to read to them, visit with them and pray with them. Many times we'll even leave a CD of our latest church service.Volunteer Opportunities In this ministry, if you're a great listener you don't need to be good at conversation. Just having someone to talk to can make all the difference in the world to an elderly person. We support this ministry with the assistance of MANY united and loving volunteers. Please consider signing up for temporary assignments in any number of our Compassion Ministries. You'll be blessed more than the recipient. Who to Contact To arrange for visits or to inquire about volunteer opportunities, please contact our church office at 972.475.7511 or email our Nursing Home Coordinator, Lori Tucker at compassion@nhvineyard.com Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:07:57 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=105 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=105&article_id=102 Hospital and BereavementEncouragement for Hospital Stays and Bereavement NHV has a group of individuals who enjoy seeing God move in our local hospitals. These anointed people make sure you have encouragement and prayer to keep your faith and spirits high while you're in the hospital and even after you return to your home. If you or someone you know has lost a loved-one through death, our Bereavement ministry is available to offer one-to-one support. Members of this ministry will not only pray for peace and comfort but offer encouragement through phone calls and notes.Volunteer Opportunities It doesn't take much to brighten someone's day. It could be something as simple as reading them a poem, sending a card of encouragement or praying with someone. The main point is to let people know we care and haven't forgotten about them during their struggle. It takes MANY united and loving volunteers to support a local community. Please consider signing up for temporary assignments in any number of our Compassion Ministries. You'll hardly believe the blessing it will be in your own life. Who to Contact For any assistance or to inquire about volunteer opportunities, please contact our church office at 972.475.7511 or email our Hospital/Bereavement Coordinator, Shelby Marquis at compassion@nhvineyard.com Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:13:08 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=104 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=104&article_id=101 Home Care For those who are 'homebound' whether it be temporary or permanent, we have a volunteer group that would like to help and encourage you.

We have many sources we can direct you to. And in some cases we can help coordinate getting the items to you.Utility Assistance If you need assistance in paying your gas or electric bill, we'd like to help. We don't give out cash but we can pay your utility company directly.

So we know that renewing our mind can transform us. But what does it mean to "renew our mind"? Basically to get new thinking. But why do we want new thinking? As early as childhood we start believing certain things about ourselves, other people and even God. Oftentimes our beliefs are not true. They may seem true at the time, but let's be honest, how wise can a 5-year old be? The bottom line is all too frequently our reactions in the present have a root cause that started in the past. This is where Jesus steps in as GOD's (theo) LIGHT (phostic). We simply invite Him to bring His Light into your circumstances to help you discover what thinking might be blocking your way to true freedom in victorious peace. Occasionally, we're fully aware of our thinking as it relates to feelings of being hurt, angry or scared. We might even know that we sometimes make sinful choices because we're attempting to manage internal pain. But yet other times we don't even realize we're not living in total victory. Whichever way describes us, if we get new thinking, we will be transformed! Our Mission To help others develop an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. This is done through focused prayer for an authentic Christ encounter, mind renewal and life transformation. What this Prayer Ministry is Not It is NOT about giving advice, diagnosing problems or sharing opinions and insight. True Freedom Prayer Ministry is Christ-centered and God-reliant for its direction and outcome. We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly release us from our emotional duress. Disclaimer: Counselors/ministers still have vital roles as listeners and instructors of biblical knowledge and godly living but without Christ none of us are as effective at bringing about LASTING PEACE. For more information you may visit www.theophostic.com How it Works A trained prayer minister and one other person, who has either been trained or is in training, meet with you privately. If you have certain feelings you're wondering about, the prayer ministers will present those to Jesus first. Then follow His leading from there. Each session lasts about 2 hours. How to Participate Since this is a prayer ministry, there is absolutely no cost. However, prayer sessions are by appointment only and usually take place at the church building.

It will never end: "And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, "Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come." (Revelation 4:8) John Piper sums this up best: "Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the FUEL and goal of missions. It's the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white-hot ENJOYMENT of God's glory. The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God. 1 So when the PASSIONATE flame of our worship is kindled by our understanding of God's overwhelming greatness and superior worth, then our light for the nations will shine ever so brightly into the darkest corners of this earth. How NHV Shares its Burning Passion The Association of Vineyard Churches (AVC) recognizes MISSIONS as one of the 10 areas of ministry that are ESSENTIAL to any Vineyard church. In fact it is part of the Vineyard Genetic Code. The AVC uses U.S. based Partnerships to further missions. A Partnership is a group of churches that voluntarily come together with their time and resources. They choose a target area to focus in and pursue what God has called them to do. Together with the people of the targeted area they develop a strategic plan to carry out the vision. Partnerships allow small to medium-sized churches make a significant contribution toward accomplishing the Great Commission with cross-cultural and trans-local missions. As the African proverb says, "If you want to go fast - go alone. If you want to go far - go together." How to Participate Throughout the year, short-term missions teams go to distant shores to minister to those who are hurting and hungry.

Our main goal is to gain intimacy with God. So we offer our prayers with an absolute dependence on Him and an emptiness of self. Often we wait on God rather than fill the air with words. We seek His face, listen for His guidance and pray as the Spirit leads over the various prayer requests. Intercession can change our church and our community. "The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." (James 5:16) When We Meet We meet every Tuesday in the main sanctuary at 7:00 pm.

(1 John 1:3) Our teens not only get together on Sundays and Wednesdays, (you may get to that section from here) they also meet in Groups outside the church. When We Meet Right now we're off for the Summer but we typically meet on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. The girls meet at (to be announced in the Fall). The guys meet at (to be announced in the Fall. What We Do(Details to come) Who to Contact For more information, please contact our Teen's Ministry Leaders, Jen Kirk or Brandon Griffin at teens@nhvineyard.com Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:52:11 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=80 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=80&article_id=74 The Issue As a single Christian adult you don't have a desire to be with other singles in a typical secular setting (bars and clubs). And you probably already realize that the way the world deals with those feelings - loneliness, abandonment, and isolation - doesn't bring any LASTING happiness. Did you know God has a better plan for single adults? Singleness is a season ordained by God for the amount of time that pleases Him, to fulfill His plan for a person's life. Singleness is NOT a disease for which the only cure is marriage. A Great Solution We at NHV have a heart and place for any single adult seeking a church home. First we offer a Singles group for building relationships with other singles. The group shares meals together and activities like volleyball, concerts and bowling. Secondly, God sets the lonely in families.... (Psalm 68:6) Our married families openly welcome singles and singles with children into their homes for dinner and fellowship. This allows the children of single parents to see healthy interaction of other children with two parents. When We Meet The Singles Group meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month. Times and locations vary depending on the activity. Please watch the church bulletin for details or check out What's Happening @ NHV (in the About Us section on the left). You may also get there from here. Who to Contact For more information, please contact our Singles Ministry Leader, Terri Wilson at singles@nhvineyard.com Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:52:00 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=16 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=16&article_id=6 What We BelieveOur Vision We believe that by Drawing Closer to God in true devoted worship, He restores wholeness in our lives. We are then able to Grow Stronger with each other and become the mature, unified Christ-followers we were created to be. As a result, we begin Living Louder in the world around us. We become effectual with our friends and neighbors who are just an invitation away from a life-changing encounter with their Lord and Savior.Our Method We believe Everyone Should Get to Play. There are no spectators in the game of life at NHV. We were all created with a special purpose and certain talents needed to complete the Body of Christ. So we help everyone to get plugged in and involved. We also strive to continually shine a bright light on biblical insights that help everyone in their growth and development.Our Core Values The Bible | It's the menu not the meal. Jesus and the Holy Spirit | We hold to a Trinitarian theology with the Holy Spirit as the administrator of the church. Relationships | Real community and an open environment. The Individual | We value the individual by creating an environment of grace, and one where everyone 'gets to play'. Healing | We believe healing is God's general will; and it should be practical in a 'naturally supernatural' way. The Kingdom of God | We engage ourselves in Kingdom activities because we are part of a Kingdom that is 'already and not yet'.Our Beliefs (simplified) We at NHV embrace the historical views of our faith. We believe God created the universe and that He has always existed in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, all of them equal in power and glory. We believe God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to this earth to be crucified on a cross so that final payment for our mistakes could be made. This we call salvation. We believe salvation is a gift of God's mercy and that we can't earn it by the ‘good' things we do. We do however have to receive this salvation by personal faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is later visible to others by the things we do that are pleasing to God. We believe that by trusting in what Jesus did for us, we are made right with God and we are now able to discover the true meaning and purpose for our lives. We believe the Holy Spirit is given to those who trust in Jesus as their Savior. His purpose is to enable us to live the life we were created for. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead after He was dead for 3 days and He's coming back to restore order to His creation. We believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) reveal these truths (and many more) because it is God's revelation to mankind.Our Beliefs (in FULL disclosure with plenty of scripture references) To view or download please click here (link to ) Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:51:36 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=28 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=28&article_id=13 Only our Members may login to access information about other individual members and their Family.

Mentoring Worship Leaders If you believe you are called for worship and have a heart to lead others to worship God, this is a great learning opportunity. Through mentoring, you will gain insight into the many practical and spiritual aspects of leading worship. Intro to Acoustic Guitar This class is designed to help you develop the ability to play acoustic guitar. In addition to hands on instructing, you'll learn from videos produced by Paul Baloche who wrote Open the Eyes of My Heart, Praise Adonai, Arise and many others. Who to Contact For more information, please contact our Worship Director, Brandon Griffin at music@nhvineyard.com Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:47:48 MST http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=77 http://nhvineyard.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=77&article_id=71 The Issue Does the mention of 'money' somehow give you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach? Do you find that you and your spouse end up constantly arguing about money? You're not alone; there are many who share your pain. Did you know God has a lot to say about money and your well-being? Jesus spoke more on the topic of money than any other topic. A Great Solution We at NHV know that until we learn to handle money God's way, we will never come into the financial peace and freedom that God intended for us. So we offer you HOPE. We endorse and teach the Crown Program from Crown Financial Ministries. Crown Financial Ministries Christian Financial Concepts was founded in 1976 and merged with Crown Ministries in 2000 to become Crown Financial Ministries, an interdenominational, nonprofit ministry. As a result of God's blessings, it has grown into the world's largest financial ministry. 1 Crown has designed a comprehensive program to equip people of all ages and needs, to handle money God's way. The costs of the studies are affordable. 2 Crown has designed a comprehensive program to equip people of all ages and needs, to handle money God's way. The costs of the studies are affordable. Crown's promise to individuals: Crown is a ministry God uses to transform lives, reduce stress, improve marriages, and draw people closer to Christ through the application of biblical financial principles. 3 When We Meet Groups of no more than 8 people meet once a week for 10 weeks, with a trained leader.

"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock." Matthew 7:25 (NASB) "But the Spirit explicitly says that in latter times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits...."

Although most of us are aware of the Great Commission, "GO therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19) we still find it difficult to even walk across the street to share our GOOD NEWS with our neighbors. For Americans, talking to strangers is the number one reported fear.What's up with that? OUTREACH should be our biggest goal but it's our biggest FEAR! BUT wait there's HOPE! A Great Solution It's called SERVANT EVANGELISM. This is where we show God's kindness to others by doing a humble service for them with no strings attached. We're taking God at His Word when He says "His kindness leads to repentance" (Rom 2:4). Imagine the look on someone's face when we have real love in our eyes and hand them a FREE bottle of cold water on a HOT day. So many times they ask "why are you doing this?" We simply let them know we're showing God's kindness with no strings attached. Sometimes they're receptive and want to know more. But if they're not, that's OK too, because we've at least planted a seed. And it's just FUN to watch people light up when we say, "it's FREE, yeah totally FREE". So.... we have fun planting the seeds of God's love; the Holy Spirit waters the seeds. Then God gets the harvest! Now how cool is that? Small things done with great LOVE will change the world. Is it for you? Servant Evangelism is a natural, easy, low-risk, high grace venture that's FUN for the whole family. If you can pour a cup of coffee, use a rake, or give away a smile - then you're qualified! When We Meet We meet every couple of months in large groups for these Outreach events, which adds to the FUN and keeps anyone from feeling nervous.

Our Focus To encourage and empower women of all ages by extending compassion and understanding to their individual needs. To allow the LOVE of God to change casual acquaintances into authentic, dynamic relationships. To reach out to all women through love and acceptance of where they are or where they've been. Our Promise If you've been in women's groups before and loved them, then you'll feel right at home. If you've been in women's groups before and didn't find what you were looking for, give us a try - we believe we're different. We see each other's faults but still love and accept one another in spite of them. We don't believe anyone should be excluded or left out. If you've never been part of a women's group, you're in for a surprise. We know none of us are perfect and we don't pretend to be. We encourage each other to look beyond our individual weaknesses and imperfections and instead focus on the person God created us to be. In-Depth Studies In the Spring and Fall we start a new book, video series or Bible study. This not only allows us to grow deeper spiritually but we also have a GREAT time before, during and after the studies. And there is almost always some kind of munchies at our gatherings. One on One When we're not studying, we're focusing on building relationships within the women of NHV. The leaders connect one on one with each woman. Maybe it's an encouraging phone call, a lunch date, a shopping trip or a movie. The purpose is to build lasting relationships that continue to multiply outward. Ladies "Time Out" Our ladies meet several times through the year for various types of FUN and FEMALE bonding. These events have included: Baby ShowersCookie ExchangesLadies LuncheonsMini Spa NightPajama PartiesTotal Spa ExperienceVarious Women's ConferencesWedding ShowersWomen's RetreatsOur retreats are a time to briefly 'GET AWAY' - usually for a long weekend. Each Spring, we go to the beautiful piney woods of Hawkins, Texas (about 2 hrs east of Rowlett) to the Brookhaven Retreat Center. Our next Retreat will be April 2008. We'll give you more details as we get closer to the date. Volunteer Opportunities The Women's Ministries at NHV are all coordinated by volunteers. And it takes many volunteers to organize some of our gift showers, luncheons and spa events. Please consider signing up as a servant volunteer. We can apply your talents for setting up tables and decorations, food preparation and clean up or spa services like makeovers and massages. Please let us know what your primary and secondary interests are.

This is sometimes in depth studies, movies, luncheons or gift showers (please see Women's Ministry for more details). And yet other times we just need a CREATIVE outlet. When We Meet We don't have a regular schedule but we try to do something as often as our family, church and work schedules will permit.
