We serve our community in tangible ways by conducting food distributions, collecting items for those in need, coordinating service projects, rolling up our sleeves in area schools, and more to show the love of Jesus to our community.
FOOD DISTRIBUTION
One of the ministries of First Baptist is to provide food insecure families in our community with a meaningful amount of food on the third Saturday of each month. This drive thru food distribution is located in the parking lot across the street from our facility and is scheduled to begin at 10:30 am.
You can help in this effort by bringing in one or more of the items listed below. Items may be dropped off at the Live the Mission Center on Sunday or in the church office during the week.
The requested sizes are so that all bags are as identical as possible.
Food distribution needs:
10-16 oz. box of non-sugary cereal
14-18 oz. jar of peanut butter
14-28 oz. jelly
1 pound container of pasta noodles

Looking for a meaningful way to teach your children how to love and serve others? Join us as we collect food items for local families who are currently experiencing food insecurity.

Luke 3:11 is a ministry of our church. Volunteers continue to serve a portion (typically about 50 adults) of the homeless community in Norfolk on the first Sunday morning of every month (before church). The men and women who live on the streets can receive a hot breakfast, head to toe weather appropriate clothing, toiletries, gift cards for a meal, backpacks and many other items.
If you would like to help provide for the homeless in a meaningful way, the following items are always needed:
