Anchored is a discipleship initiative that weaves together the biblical story, Christian doctrine, and spiritual formation. Its goal is simple but transformative: to equip followers of Jesus to know and love Him deeply, love others, and make Him known. As you journey through the unfolding story of Scripture alongside others, your understanding of who God is deepens—and so does your love for Him. That love begins to reshape your life, aligning your habits, relationships, and purpose with His. The natural result? A growing desire to love others and live on mission.

We have several opportunities for vocalists and instrumentalists wishing to serve in worship gatherings here at First Norfolk. Being a part of these groups requires a calling and commitment, as each is involved in weekly services as well as special events throughout the year. Each Sunday morning, a combination of these groups lead our church in worship, but no one group leads every week.
