Our Purpose
First Baptist Church of Norfolk exists to glorify God by winning and leading all the people within our reach to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Our Passion
It is our great privilege to love and care for those serving in our Armed Forces. Through military ministry we seek to address in a practical way the needs of military singles and families from all backgrounds and cu
ltures. Our heart is to serve all military in Hampton Roads and beyond through our unconditional love and support. Our passion is to share God’s love in both word and deed. Our Focus
Our focus is to train and equip believers living within the military culture. It is our joy to embrace and invest in them, and to send them out with a Kingdom mindset so that by the end of their assignment in our community they see the military culture and their careers as God-ordained platforms for ministry. Our Intent
Our intent is for relational discipleship to be at the core of all we do. By relational discipleship we mean one-on-one and small group mentoring and discipleship. By God's grace, we seek to continually build and nurture a sustainable discipleship movement within and extending beyond our church. Our Vision
Our vision is to fulfill the Great Commandment by meeting the needs of military people and the Great Commission by equipping military believers to live as fully devoted followers of Christ wherever they are stationed worldwide. First Norfolk Young Adults - Military & Friends
We are young adults with different backgrounds and from many places. We are diverse and yet come from the same generation and share a common faith. We are in the military, on the college campus, in the professional world, or in transition. If you are a young adult in Hampton Roads, give our First Norfolk young adult community a try!
