Seeking Church in Newport News Area

Hello My name is Wanda Morris and I am the pastor's wife of a small church in Norfolk. I know you said in the Newport News area but I think you will find our church is worth the drive. We have a family who drives from Fort Eustis every service. We have several small children in our church between the ages of newborn to 6 years old. We are a spirit filled church that is very much alive. Most all of the young children call me Granny and I love it. We are a very close knit church and we are very supportive of each other if their is a need that arises.Our church is Missionary Full Gospel we are located @9508 Chesapeake St. Norfolk, Va our ph# is ###-###-#### (home) and ###-###-#### (cell).i am 43 years old and I am the oldest lady in our church we are a fairly youthful church (age wise) We usually have about 50 in church on Sunday morning. We love God and we love people.

In his service,
Wanda Morris

There are lots of young families, and military as well, you should fit right in. Write me back if you are interested, and I can give you more info.
God Bless!!

Hi J.! My family and I have attending a great church in Newport News called Calvary Chapel (website: www.calvarynn.com) We absolutely love it! It's very kid friendly and there are a lot of military families. Dress is casual and they have 3 regular Sunday services (8:30a 10:00a 11:30a). Pastor Tony delivers a wonderful sermon! I'm certain you will find the right church for your family. Be blessed :)

Go Mormons!! (real name is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) I am a member. We have moved so many times. People ask me how I do it. Why I instantly have a whole group of friends. Real friends. It is simply because of the continuity of my church family.

No matter where you go we are studying the same lessons in Sunday School. The children's theme for the year will be the same. The youth program is set up and run the same. The women's organization, called Rellief Society,(one of the oldest, largest organization for women in the world) will be learning and discussing the exact same topic throughout the world.

We believe in Christ, we worship him. There may be some fundamental differences in beliefs for you but the fellowship regardless of whether you join or not will most likely be phenomenol. If you go just ask the closest lady to point you to the Relief Society president. Let her know what you're interested in and she'll hook you up. It should be that simple.

Go to lds.org to look up a meeting house location and time. That will show you when it starts. Ninety nine percent of the women will be in dresses. There are 3 meetings and that first one will be a sacrament meeting lasting 70 minutes. (yeah, sometimes kids go a little nuts!) There will be announcements, opening song, opening prayer, ward business, blessing and partaking of the sacrament (simply remain seated while the young men (deacons) pass) and then one or two youth speakers.
Two adults will speak, maybe there will be a musical number between them. Then a closing song, closing prayer and you're done. Keep in mind that the first Sunday of each month is our Fast and Testimony meeting. Members fast 2 meals and give an offering the store house for those in the ward in financial difficulty. There are no prepared talks on that day. The pulpit is open to all members wanting to share tesimony of Christ and his gosopel.

Whew! Didn't know I had so much today. Wherever your journey takes you I wish you nothing but joy and happiness. I realize worship is a very personal thing. Just know you will always be welcome in the LDS community.

Hi J.,
We have been in Newport News for 5 years now and have attended a few different churches and couldn't find one that just felt right. We just started going to
one that we really like. It is a small church and it just felt like home when we walked through the doors. It is the Stevens Memorial Baptist Church on 224 Richneck Road, zip code 23608. I'll be praying that God leads you where you need to be.
Blessings,
W.

Hello J.,
I don't now if you you've found something now, but I just got back to mamasource after a couple of really busy months. I attend By Grace Community Church in Newport News (a smaller church, been around almost 2 years). I can see that you have some specific things you're looking for, so I thought I'd just attach the website and let you look for yourself if you are interested. www.bygraceonline.org. Feel free to message me if you want to connect or ask any questions. L.
