What We Believe
God began human life in the garden of Eden. Throughout time the garden has been likened unto a sanctuary - A place of Beauty, Rest and Peace far from the clamor of a harsh and weary world. We invite you to walk with us through the gardens of Biblical truth together.
Our Foundations:
The congregation at Norfolk Garden Baptist believes in salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and in living a life commitment to our Lord with the inspired Scriptures being a guide in faith and in life. We are committed to communicating Biblical Truth and its application to our lives, specifically evident in our pledge to these core values:
- Glory to Our God: We minister with the utmost goal of living by faith and obedience to God.
- Character in Ourselves: We strive for integrity that comes from a growing relationship with God
- Honor to Others: We value the personal and professional ability of each individual
- Grace in Our Relationships: We are devoted to serving each other and demonstrating God's grace.
