Familiar with New Life Christian Fellowship (NLCF) from a member’s perspective, Rolinda Marcum decided to see what it would be like to work as a staff member when hired as secretary on August 29, 1997. She provides administrative support for senior pastor Dan Backens, oversees the functioning of the church offices, and coordinates additional church-related projects.

Retired from eighteen years of civil service for the U.S. Navy in the capacity of executive secretary and administrative assistant for various commands, Rolinda was more than prepared to work with the Providence team!

“I consider it a ministry and a perfect fit with the experience and abilities I have to be able to serve as the Providence office manager,” expresses the Hampton Roads native. “I love working in a Christian environment! Having the privilege and blessing of working with Pastor Dan and the Providence staff and leadership, it has been an exciting journey. The walk of faith in how God has led New Life Providence to evolve into a cutting edge church of the future.”

Rolinda also serves in the children’s Sunday school program, currently team-teaching the 4 & 5 year olds. She balances these roles while also being a co-leader for a youth girls life group and also co-leads a Life Group for women.

Happily married for thirty years to Ron, the couple has two adult children, Amber and Alex. Rolinda enjoys hobbies including collecting anything with butterflies, gardening, and watching old black and white films.
