NORFOLK, VA
JOIN US IN NORFOLK, VA
When we open the paper in the morning and read about the city of Norfolk, Virginia, we get a glimpse of a growing and thriving economy. Big headlines catch our attention, sharing stories of growth and change. Norfolk is located next to one of the largest ship repair facilities in the country, home to Eastern Virginia Medical School, the Hampton Roads Admirals, and new businesses thriving in the multimillion-dollar Waterside development. But, on the next page, we see a city beset with challenges. What does EY2S see that others don’t? We see the hope of Christ. We see young kids created by the Creator that need love, direction, leadership, opportunity, discipleship, and more. We see an opportunity, as the Apostle Paul illustrated in his epistles, to apply head knowledge of scripture, and Biblical principles of love, joy, peace, and reconciliation within the inner city.
