Our Church
NVBC was established in 1975. Since then, God has enabled this church to experience numerous building projects and expand its facilities. Solid numerical growth also brought an extension of ministries which include thriving soul-winning and bus ministries, an aggressive missions program, and a Christian school.
Our Pastor
Godly. Balanced. Encouraging. Spirit-filled. Faithful. These words could be used to describe Dr. Jack Trieber. For more than forty-five years, Dr. Trieber has been used by God in a unique and unusual way to further the cause of Christ here in Santa Clara.

This ministry is comprised of bus routes, nursing homes, Sunday morning services, and weekly soul-winning outreach.
