Secret Church: New Testament Overview Course<\/h3>\t\t\t

Secret Church is a 9-10 week course running from September 13th to November 29th<\/strong>, designed to have set-groups that will meet consistently each Sunday during congregational life (11:15 AM – 12:30 PM<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

It is our hope that in addition to the rich course material that will increase participants’ Biblical literacy, the consistent groups will provide community and belonging for those waiting to be placed in a small group.<\/p>\n

You MUST sign up to be included in this course. Secret Church runs during the same time as Disciple-Making Lab so you unfortunately cannot do both. We encourage everyone who is not doing Disciple-Making Lab to participate!<\/p>\n

Online Giving\/Tithing<\/h3>\t\t\t

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God\u2019s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage the congregation to offer online through e-transfer or online banking. If you choose to give offering via cheque, we ask that you write the church’s full name “North Toronto Chinese Baptist Church”. The banks no longer accept the short form NTCBC as a valid payee.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more details on online giving, including how to add NTCBC as an ‘online bill payee’,\u00a0 click here.<\/u><\/a><\/h6>\n
