Bethany Free Will Baptist Church

About this church

Bethany Free Will Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation in Norfolk, Virginia, that describes itself as a place where community becomes friendship and friends become family. Its ministries combine biblical preaching, music, Christian education, fellowship, transportation, and programs for children and teenagers. Nursery workers care for children through age three, while separate classes serve preschool and kindergarten, first through third grade, and fourth through sixth grade. Teenagers study age-appropriate questions on Sunday and Wednesday, and the Patch the Pirate program brings music and Bible learning to children and youth during the midweek gathering.

Sunday morning worship begins at 11:00 a.m., with children’s and teen classes available. Evening worship starts at 5:00 p.m.; on the first Sunday of each month, a 1:00 service replaces the 5:00 gathering. Wednesday worship begins at 6:30 p.m. with teen and Patch the Pirate programs, and nursery care is available at each service. The church is at 2430 Azalea Garden Road. Children are welcome to remain with their parents in the main worship service rather than use the nursery or classes. Visitors should account for the first-Sunday schedule exception before arriving for evening worship.
