Leadership
Pastors Rory J. Sr & Char Cobbs
Pastor Rory believes and teaches that the Word is the inerrant inspired Word of God. His messages are Holy Spirit led and delivered with love, compassion and without apology. Being with people during life’s hardships is a commitment he made when he decided to Pastor. Hospital visits, home visits, and all kinds of aid to his flock are his priority. His heart is to give people the tools that they need to discover and grow in their gifts and talents and then make room for them to be trained to do the work of the ministry. Many have found a purpose and place to serve in this body of Christ. Pastor Rory knows who he is, strengths and weaknesses, so he functions without comparison or competition which gives freedom to others to excel in their strengths with confidence. He believes in “teamwork”! He honors those who serve beside him.
Pastor Char has a deep abiding love for people. She teaches with a practical style lessons that can easily be applied to everyday life. Pastor Char is gifted in relationship building and cares so much for people to be transformed by the renewing of their mind, that she will radically risk to help people come to an honest, open, friendship with God and the people of His Kingdom. She is passionate for Sunday School to be an exciting environment where children learn about the God who never leaves them and that He loves them unconditionally. She oversees our community support programs, hospitality ministry, Oasis Women's Ministry, and special events.

Pastor R.J. Cobbs Jr.
Pastor R.J. was in his second year of University when he answered God's calling on his life and said yes to attend Master's Commission in Atlanta, Georgia led by Jeanne Mayo. He studied there for three years and completed a one year internship at The Tabernacle. He returned to NBWC and became the Youth Pastor of Collision Youth Ministries and G3 Young Adult Ministries.
Pastor R.J. is a talented worship leader and has a passion for unchurched youth. His strength is bringing a sense of family and a father's heart to those who come to group. He teaches that the only thing that brings true stability and security to a person's life is when there is a "Collision" with their Creator that changes them from the inside out. Once they have had that authentic encounter, the change in them impacts their world, and that is what draws others to desire the same experience.
Crystal was a youth Pastor in Aransas Pass, Texas when she and met and married Pastor R.J. in November of 2020. Her love for youth is as big as Texas too. They are the perfect balance and compliment in every aspect of life. Crystal is an amazing addition to our community of faith.
