Raleigh, North Carolina
Providence Church is located in the northwest area of Raleigh, NC. Our mission is clear: We exist to glorify God by introducing all people to Jesus Christ and growing them up to love and worship him. As you continue seeking God’s call for your life and ministry, here are a few things to know about who we are, and our passions for ministry and missions.
In 1978, in a living room with several families, we were founded out of a passion for God’s Mission and God’s people. A small group of committed believers gathered together anchored by the hope they shared in the gospel. Since then, we’ve always been committed to teaching the truths of God’s word from The Bible, partnering together in community to build one another up in those truths, and living lives on mission to reach those who are far from God.
Raleigh is a booming city that’s growing exponentially every day. In 2023, it was ranked the third fastest-growing city in the US. Education, career, family, and more are bringing people to our city, and we want them to know the truth of who God is. We have three services every Sunday morning where anyone and everyone is welcome to come and experience meaningful worship, teaching, and connection. And for those who work on the weekends, we offer a Monday Night service as well.
Helping people gain truths for living doesn’t stop at adults, but extends to everyone including kids and students. We feel passionate about helping toddlers to seniors know what the Bible has to say about God, life, and eternity. From age-specific programming during worship services, evening enrichment programs, parenting seminars, and more we aim to partner with parents, teaching kids and students, and participate together in the mission of bringing up the next generation to know the gospel and love Jesus.
At Providence, we believe our life is best experienced in community. That means we champion doing life together for the good of our own growth, the good of our church, and to see the whole kingdom of God thrive. We desire for those who walk through our doors to be a part of meaningful communities we call Life Groups. These groups exist to care for one another, pray for one another, meet regularly together, study the Bible together, serve together, and go on mission together. Life Groups are our main avenue here at Providence for doing life together.
You’ve heard us say we exist to glorify God by introducing all people to Jesus Christ. And we really mean ALL PEOPLE. There are plenty of people here in Raleigh who have no idea who Jesus is or know the hope found in the gospel. We are passionate about empowering God’s people with their gifts and talents to reach those in need around them with the hope of Jesus. And not just to Raleigh, but to the world. We love sending people all over the globe equipped with the Spirit to share the good news of who Jesus is and what He has done. We love nothing more than seeing lives changed through God’s people.
Truth for living, Life Together, and Life on Mission. These are the building blocks of who Providence is, why we exist, and how we go about accomplishing the mission of God.
