MINISTRY<\/strong> – A great deal has changed over the last 25 years.\u00a0 NHCC has grown, though not phenomenally.\u00a0 We’ve changed to stay current, adopted a different name, altered our style of worship, and added to our facilities.\u00a0 The world is different than a few years ago.\u00a0 What has not aged is the power of the gospel to make a difference.\u00a0 After 25 years with NHCC and almost 30 years in the ministry I still enjoy leading someone to Jesus Christ more than anything else.\u00a0 We are blessed with a spirit of love and unity that is all too rare.\u00a0 We function as a family and the leadership works together as a team.\u00a0 I’ve been blessed to be a part of the family and the team.\u00a0 If you are looking for more than just a place to attend church, if you are looking for a church where you can be part of the family, check us out.<\/p>\n CALLING <\/strong>– I was born in a preacher’s home.\u00a0 In fact the Nichols’ family is full of preachers.\u00a0 Persistent, competitive, and energetic summarizes my life as the boy who wanted to be a preacher like his dad.\u00a0 In 1985, I received a Bachelor of Biblical Literature and a Bachelor of Theology from Ozark Bible College.\u00a0 My study there included a triple major in Old Testament, New Testament, and Biblical Languages.\u00a0 In 1989 I received a Master of Arts in theology from Cincinnati Bible Seminary.\u00a0 In 1991 I completed a Master of Divinity in Theology (also from CBS).\u00a0 I have been the preaching minister for this church body.\u00a0 Back in my earlier years few could believe that someone so young was really the “Senior Minister.”\u00a0\u00a0The years now betray me and some think of me as “The Very Senior Minister.”<\/p>\n FAMILY<\/strong> – In 1991, I married Bev Powell.\u00a0 Without a doubt, the best years of ministry with NHCC have been with Bev by my side.\u00a0 In so many ways she is perfectly suited to the role of preacher’s wife.\u00a0 She grew up in a preacher’s home, graduated from Cincinnati Bible College, did mission work in Ireland, and loves the Lord with all her heart.\u00a0 God has blessed our home with three children Luke (1993), Brooke (1995), and Matthew (1997).\u00a0 They keep us young and grounded.\u00a0 Nothing is more important to us than their faithfulness to the Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ken Nichols – Senior Minister MINISTRY – A great deal has changed over the last 25 …<\/p>\n
