ANDERSON, S.C., Apr 06, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NewSpring Church has unveiled its newest campus addition--a web campus. It will be available for Easter services, allowing people across the globe to go to church without leaving their homes.

Easter services are a busy time for churches in the United States and NewSpring Church wanted to give people a different option for Easter weekend. Through the web campus, people can participate in worship with the Anderson campus band, listen to Senior Pastor Perry Noble teach and take notes online. The web campus also allows people share experiences and thoughts in a live chat room and connect with others attending through social media and small groups.

"We don't think there should be any barriers to hearing the good news of Jesus," said Nick Charalambous, NewSpring web campus pastor. "We know people are living more of their lives online every day, and we want to offer them an option to learn how God can transform their lives with joy, hope and purpose without their having to visit a church." The NewSpring web campus services will be at 11:15 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and 11 a.m. (PST) on our website www.NewSpring.cc.

NewSpring Church was founded in 2000 with 115 people on the campus of a local college. Now the attendance is more than 10,000 people every week. NewSpring Church currently has four campuses--Anderson, Greenville, Florence and the Web Campus and will be adding a fifth campus in Columbia in late 2009. Student and children's ministries are provided at all physical campuses, as well as several service times to accommodate any schedule. Please visit www.NewSpring.cc for more information.
