Pre-service
Prayer
With a desire to dedicate everything we do and say during
services to the Lord, the congregation is encouraged
to join the pastoral staff for prayer at 5:30 PM Saturdays and 8:15 AM on Sundays at our Kempsville Campus and 9:30 AM Sundays at our Norfolk Campus.
Our services are about 90 minutes in length. Services will typically contain the following elements:
Wholehearted Worship
The worship team and band begin leading the congregation into
God’s presence with a variety of ethnic flavor.
The music may be contemporary or traditional in nature. Then
again, it may reflect a gospel vibe or Latin swing. You can
be sure it’s all for the sole purpose of exalting the
Lord God Almighty!
Ministry Time
During service, for example, time is given for individuals to express their
prayer concerns one-on-one with a member of our prayer team.
Announcements
Be informed of upcoming church and city-wide activities. During
this time, elementary school-aged children are dismissed to attend their Sunday school classes.
Offering of Tithes & Gifts
God's economic laws promise the follower of Christ abundant
provision in this life through the principle of "sowing
and reaping." The Bible teaches us that our standard
of giving should begin at 10% (tithe) and increase as we are
prospered.
Dynamic Preaching & Insightful Teaching
Sharing from his heart during each sermon, Pastor Dan Backens
strives to encourage and challenge everyone present in living
a life of godly excellence.
A Bonus…
With an emphasis on encouraging those talented in music and
dramatic arts, services sometimes come with an added bonus
when individuals or groups from the congregation present
a special song, dance, or drama performance.
Now that you have had your peek, why
don’t you come and experience the full energizing feel
of New Life Providence Church?
We would love to see you this coming
Saturday or Sunday!
