VISITORS INFO: 8:00 SERVICE

What can you expect at NBCC’s 8:00am service?

We have 3 services at NBCC.  We have the 8:00am and 10:30am which are both inside the church building.  We also have the Drive-In Service (the only one in Tampa by the way).  The 8:00am service is the early morning option for worship that is low key and the smallest of all our services.

The 8:00am service is right for you if…
… you want a low-key relaxed service
… you don’t like crowds
… you are an early bird and want to get the say started off right
… you get off work Sunday morning and want to go to church before heading home
… you want to dress casual (actually, all our services are casual)

When you walk in the foyer (entrance) to the church, you will be greeted and handed a bulletin.  The bulletin outlines the latest information about the church calendar, events, and announcements.  Also in the bulletin is a page for you to take notes on during the sermon as well as a communication card.  Please fill out the communication card that comes in your bulletin so we can know your name and address and we will drop a note of welcome to you.  You can put the communication card in the offering plate when it comes by. 

The bathrooms are immediately to your left (you will see a sign).
The church office is to the right.
The sanctuary (where worship service takes place) is straight ahead.

Once in the sanctuary, pick a seat any seat, they aren’t assigned!  The service will begin with live music, move to the sermon, and conclude with communion and offering.  There might also be a smattering of special music and videos depending on the week.  The service begins at 8:00am and is finished around 9:15am.  It finishes around 9:15 so folks can head to Sunday School if they choose which begins at 9:30am.

After the service, you can head to the Family Life Center (its also a gym) which is down the same hallway as the bathrooms.  You want to go there… free coffee, juice, donuts, and fruit await.  From the FLC, you can exit to your car or you can stay for Sunday School.  There are two classes which meet in the FLC at 9:30am which are both designed for visitors and beginners.  Check them out!

Anyway, the 8:00am service is our earliest service, the smallest, and the most low-key of all our services.  If you want, come check us out.  We hope you will meet God in the service and we know He will change your life and lead you to a new beginning.

P.S. There is a not a nursery or children’s program at the 8:00am service.  Those programs start at 9:30am and runs during the 10:30am service.
