South Norfolk Baptist Church

• Summary:South Norfolk Baptist Church’s motto, Helping you take one step closer to Jesus, reflects a relaxed, Bible-centered congregation where attire ranges from shorts to suits and the emphasis is to read, preach, pray, and sing the Word. Sunday School meets at 9:45 with worship at 11:00, a nursery is provided each week, and children participate in explicitly gospel-centered activities (music, crafts, games, story time, memory verse) with mandatory background checks for workers; older children are encouraged to join the main service when age-appropriate. The church affirms the Baptist Faith & Message 2000, practices believer’s baptism by immersion and views the Lord’s Supper as symbolic, and its How to be saved gospel page frames salvation around four questions (God, Man, Christ, Response) inviting repentance, baptism, and ongoing discipleship; the congregation’s statement limits the office of pastor to men. Dr. Kyle Rader (MDiv, DMin) has led the church since 2018 after pastoring in London, midweek Bible study meets Wednesday at 6:30 PM, office hours are Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–1:00 PM, and sermons are available online and via podcast with multiple giving options (online, plate, or mailed gifts).
