What can you expect at
NBCC’s 10:30am 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 10:30am service is the
last and largest of our worship services.
Before you ever get in the front
door, you will be greeted by our Outside Greeters whose sole job is to help you
get where you are going. They also
happen to have breath mints so blow into your hand and check them out if you
need to!
When you walk in the foyer (main
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.
The library is to the left of the
sanctuary which is where you can meet the ministers after the service if you
wish.
Once in the sanctuary, pick a
seat any seat, they aren’t assigned!
This is our largest service so we recommend getting to the church at
around 10:20am (if you did not hit Sunday School first). The service will begin with live music, move
to communion and offering, and then conclude with a sermon. There might also be
a smattering of special music and videos depending on the week. The service begins at 10:30am and is finished
around 11:40-11:45am. It finishes around
11:45am so you can beat the other church folks to the restaurant!
During the service, kids 1st-5th
grades are excused to their activity which takes place in the Family Life
Center (gym) right next
to the sanctuary. Kids in the
nursery-Kindergarten have classes that begin at the start of the service. A greeter can show you the way to the nursery
and the PreK & K class.
You will find:
Blended (old and new) music for
worship with words projected on screens
Bible-based preaching and
teaching
Folks from all walks of life
People dressed from shorts to
suits (wear what you like)
Friendly faces that are glad you
are worshipping with us
If you are a first time visitor,
the ministers would love to meet you right after the service in the library
(there will be an announcement and signs).

Christian Education Minister
