In 1971, Tommy and Judy Hudson moved here with their family to begin a work for God.  In the years since then, many have come to have a relationship with God.  There are hundreds of people all over the nation that have been influenced by their life and ministry.  The Hudsons now serve as Bishop and First Lady of NLBC.  Semi-retirement allows them to fulfill their dream to travel the world, and affords them more ministry opportunities, speaking at conferences and marriage seminars.

In February of 2009, Timothy and Audrey were voted in as lead pastors.  They desire to lead a community of believers that ministers and that loves others.  Their wish is that everyone would meet Jesus in a personal way and discover the abundant life that He has for them. They enjoy the outdoors and are constantly kept on their toes by their son Hudson.
