The Bible tells us that as followers of Jesus, we should be baptized as a public profession of our faith. Baptism is the first step of obedience Jesus instructed new believers to take. We baptize at Sunday Worship Gatherings, special events, and annually at the beach.
If you are interested in being baptized, simply text “baptism” to 757.742.5558, email baptisms@firstnorfolk.org OR click the button below.
Baptism is an outward expression of the inward reality of following Jesus as your Lord and Savior and it’s something that Jesus commanded His followers to do. Our church gathers together each summer for a special baptism time at the beach. Let us know you'd like to be baptized at the beach by clicking the button below or texting “baptism” to 757-742-5558. After the baptisms, our church family gathers for a special time of food and fellowship. You can also be baptized at the church building during any of our Worship Gatherings.
