NDRC WORSHIP EXPERIENCE




New Dawn Restoration Center is patterned after the first church at Jerusalem as recorded in Acts 2:42-47, which includes: corporate worship, ministry, fellowship, edifying the body, and evangelism by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Worship – The Bible commands us to love the Lord, our God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Our worship services are designed for person to enter into the presence of God and freely express their love and adoration. We encourage all believers to worship God in spirit and in truth. We worship God in various ways to include praying, lifting our hands, dancing, singing, shouting, and responding to the anointed Word of God as delivered through His chosen vessel.

As stewards of the gift(s) of God we are mandated to use them for the up building of His Kingdom.
Fellowship - Individually we are ordinary people. However, when we come together on one accord, with our varying personalities, backgrounds, expertise, hurts, and pains combined with our spiritual gifts, a force that compels and propels us to victory is created. It is often in our laughing, crying, eating, and playing together that we obtain strength for the journey.
Edification - We are called to teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; additionally we are called to bear one another’s burdens, and comfort one another.
Evangelism- our primary mission is to win souls for Christ Jesus, to share our faith with those living in darkness. Our life experiences whether pleasant or unpleasant, self-inflicted or God ordained is to be shared with others, compelling them to receive Christ as their Savior, thus receiving the gift of eternal life with our Heavenly Father.
