Coronavirus Ministry Updates
We ask that you follow the basic COVID-19 prevention protocols of wearing a mask whenever inside the building, washing your hands often, staying socially-distanced, not attending if you have any symptoms of COVID-19, have been exposed and you don't know your status, or have been diagnosed as positive within the last 14 days.
There are some alterations being made to traffic flow inside the building and normal operations in order for us to continue to gather safely as we welcome groups back to campus. Please read below and feel free to contact us at 757-461-3226 or email us with any questions.
VBS will look different this year so we can safely accommodate as many children as we can. We're working on the details and considering the current health guidelines for safety. We need your help to make VBS happen. Sign up for one week or both! There will be many roles to fill and there's one that fits you. Volunteers must be members of First Baptist Norfolk.

Welcome to Preschool Ministry where we pray, plan and play with a purpose! We believe that each child is created in the image of God and we want to love them and help them grow like Jesus did!
We’ve designed our preschool environment very intentionally to allow our youngest children to experience God’s love for them! Each child is assigned a room based on either their age or stage of development. Encouraging and nurturing teachers care for your children and provide fun hands-on learning experiences for them to feel loved and learn foundational biblical truths about God’s great big love for them.
Our fantastic team members are passionate about each child feeling valued and loved by us, and more importantly, by Jesus. All preschool team members are screened, background checked and trained.
Welcome! Preschool LIFEgroups are now available at 9:00AM on Sundays. Smiling volunteers are ready to assist your family whether you are first time guests or a returning family. As you come into the preschool lobby, there is a Wellness Station where children have their temperatures taken and families confirm that their child is symptom free. Next, head over to the preschool desk to register and check in. All Birth through Kindergarten classes now meet on the first floor so be sure to get your new classroom number. Our leaders all wear masks but you can still see our happy faces and we look forward to seeing you!

We welcome any and all families from across Hampton Roads to join in the hunt with us! There are one hundred homes across Hampton Roads our area with large Easter eggs in their yard and it’s your mission to find them. A list of addresses displaying an egg (organized by zip code) is available for you to download here as a pdf or you can view the addresses here on a webpage. The egg signs will be placed in yards from March 26th until Easter. Pile in the car as a family whenever you have some spare time and go on a fun adventure together. Take a picture of or with the eggs you find and post your favorites! We would love to see your family enjoying the hunt, so please tag us at First Baptist Norfolk on Facebook and @firstnorfolk on Instagram.
