Do we have any churches in this area?

I have a young man in the navy there. He had been attending a particular church their and well he wants to change for various reasons.

Or are there any other suggestions. Does not have to be COGOP.

Thanks in advance

I was stationed in Norfolk (Little Creek) in the early 70's and attended what was (at that time) the Norview Church... since relocated, I am told. I am sure someone from the area, COGOP or otherwise, can give details.

Thanks PG and Stevenson,

Do either of you know anything about the first two churches? Pastor, type of church?

If you want to PM about them that is fine

Thanks again

the pastor of the porstmouth church was my pastor 25 years ago, he is a good man. There are more churches then that BTW. The suffolk church pastor is a good man from the bahamas.

Ok Virginia beach still has a church though they had there building taken they are meeting at a school.

The va beach/chesapeake church which had anew really nice building is meeting at a school I think they are pretty good size.

Portsmouth has a church maybe 25 people, suffolk has one big church and one small one.

The closest ones to him are going to be the va beach church or the one that is either in va beach or the boarder of chespapeake, that church was more of a progressive church kinda in the way most people here like. It is shame they lost that bulding.....

I deliver mail very close to that area PG. COGOP sold that building (in a rough drug area)quite awhile ago and moved to become the Va Beach church. Bro. Fortenberry from the Chesapeake church is a wonderful man of God. Their new building is beautiful but they could not keep up with the payments and insurance and had to rent it out. Va Beach church rents out their building. The Lakeside church in Hampton is the one recently taken over by the ANC.

But yes the Norview church did later become the church in va beach on princess anne rd. They had that building a long time. It was a nice church.
The other one they lost off off buttstation rd was a really nice built church and they added on to that one and it is more then double the size it was in the begining.

I remember talking with Bro Fortenberry when he was getting ready to build the church on Butts Station. The blueprints were nice, I even drove by one time to see it, it was a nice building. I may drive by and take a pic of the old norview church tomorrow and post it for PG's memories. It is not far from me. Too bad the street beside it is now a big drug haven.

yes that is the hood now!!!!!! Have you seent the church on Butts station since they added the middle portion and the entire right side?
It was a small like hectagon then they added a big foyer, offices and a much bigger sanctuary. So it is now kinda 2 hectogons with a rectangle in the middle if that makes sense
