| About Port Norfolk Baptist Church - Our Family & Our Programs |
| Our Beliefs... Our Founding Fathers and the present congregation subscribe to the following ideas: *The church is a divine institution created by God through Jesus Christ our Lord to carry out His work in the world. *The Holy Spirit empowers the Church to maintain its life and growth. *We will worship, educate, nurture and minister in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Members of this church are Believers, reborn through the Word and Spirit, who have publicly professed their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior in obedience to His command, have been baptized by immersion in water and have voluntarily pledged to one another to live in accordance with the faith and practices of this church. We affirm that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and reveals His eternal will and purpose in Jesus Christ. It stands as the sole authority and guide for the faith and practice of this church. The church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of the "Baptist Faith and Message of 1963". Insofar as practical, the church cooperates with the Portsmouth Baptist Association, the Baptist General Association of Virginia, and the Southern Baptist Convention. |

| Who We Are... Port Norfolk Baptist Church is a congregation made up of people of all backgrounds. Our seniors work side-by-side with our younger members and children to minister to the Port Norfolk Community. Sunday School classes are available for all age groups, and a nursery is open for the little ones. Our Sunday services offer a variety of music and messages that inspire and uplift. Activities on Wednesdays and throughout the week keep everyone interested in the growth and development of the church. Special study sessions take place throughout the year giving everyone the chance to increase their understanding and knowledge of God's word and plan for His people. As Port Norfolk Baptist Church starts into its second century in the center of the Port Norfolk community, we want to open its doors and heart to the people who live in the shadow of our church, to be the spiritual home for all who will come. We truly want to be the "church with a heart in the heart of Port Norfolk". |
| Youth and Children Our children and youth are actively involved in the life of our church. They have Sunday School, Sunday Evening Study groups, Wednesday evening activities and Vacation Bible School. There are also many special events including Game Nights and Ultimate Frisbee, skating parties, lock-ins, and retreat camps. Our teenagers have been involved in missions through the World Changers Program, and Eastern Shore mission trip. The younger kids are learning about missions through the Team Kid program on Wednesday evenings. All during the year, special holiday events keep everyone excited about being a part of Port Norfolk Baptist Church. |

| Vacation Bible School Each summer Port Norfolk Baptist Church has neighborhood Vacation Bible School. We invite all the children living nearby to come for a week-long session, learning about God through exciting, adventure-filled lessons, crafts, and playtime. Costumed story-tellers, music time, and snack time complete each session and make learning about the Bible fun and memorable! Vacation Bible School 2008 was held July 27 - 31, and was quite a success! Be sure to look for information in 2009 for our next VBS for all ages!. |
| Recreation and Sports Basketball and softball teams for men and women play every season. Win or lose we have a great time! Special picnics, parties, Easter Egg Hunts, Christmas parties and concerts happen all through the year. Our seniors meet each month for lunch, take special trips, and have guest speakers on topics that affect their lives. There is always something going on! |
| Our Music Programs... Our Music Department offers not only a chance to worship through music, but also great fellowship and fun at weekly choir rehearsals and get-togethers. We have an adult choir with members of all ages, a handbell choir, and a children's choir that alwaya performs at Easter and Christmas, as well as other times throughout the year. We have several fine soloists, including our pastor, who bless our services with music and give concerts during the year. We have a praise team, Spark of Life, which leads in worship at different times. |

We are a part of the Port Ministry for seamen who come into our local ports; we provide worship services for the Emily Green Shores Retirement Home; hospital visitation and a ministry for the homebound. Through our WMU we are active in missionary efforts in the United States and all over the world. We also work with state and local missions organizations.
