Prayer Letter
This electronic letter is sent out every other week with prayer requests from church members, as well as a guide to pray for our community, country and world. Our pastors and prayer team also pray over prayer requests each week. To receive the prayer letter or submit a prayer request, email valena@fpcnorfolk.org.
First Prayer Team
Our prayer team is committed to lifting up our church and its people. These team members can be spotted praying before, during and after each service, as well as gathering on Monday nights to pray through the prayer requests submitted the day before. To join the prayer team, contact Kristine@fpcnorfolk.org.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
The Spiritual Growth Map provides a way to access and investigate where you are in your spiritual journey. We desire for everyone to continue their growth by finding the next step toward maturity in Christ.
COMMUNITY GROUPS
Our Community Groups are designed to encourage meaningful connections with others in our family of faith as you study God’s word. For some people, this group may be an extension of an existing group of friends. For others, this may be a new and exciting chapter of relationship and belonging in our church. Either way, our goal is that you will find a small group of people to grow close with inside of our church. Let us know if you’re interested in connecting with a group!
