First Baptist Church Suffolk has recognized the need for a ministry specifically geared toward military families. Hampton Roads is known around the world for its distinguished military presence. The world's largest naval base, Naval Station Norfolk and a total of 15 installations mean over 80,000 active-duty military personnel reside in our region. Hampton Roads has one of the largest concentrations of armed forces in the United States. At First Baptist Church Suffolk, we recognize that our military personnel and families are looking for a church to call home away from home. We aim to reach these individuals and families, provide Christian fellowship, and meet their spiritual needs.
The Mission of the Military Ministry is to:
Be a spiritual light to reflect Christ to our Military singles and families.
1. To share the Gospel with each family and to strengthen their walk with Christ, through the preaching of God's Word, through Bible Studies, through Christian literature geared to the Military, through fellowship and assisting them in finding resources for needs which arise specific to military life.
2. To encourage this part of the body of Christ by providing special events and fellowships in their honor to show appreciation throughout the calendar year for their sacrifice. To provide moral, spiritual and physical support through church families who volunteer to connect with a military (single) or family.
