Legacy

Since 1884, Queen Street Baptist Church has been more than a building—it has been a sanctuary of resilience, a cradle of community, and a beacon of hope in the heart of Norfolk. From our founding by those seeking freedom and faith, to our historic sanctuary built in 1910, we have weathered every season alongside our city. For over a century, our doors have remained open to feed the hungry, educate our youth, and provide a spiritual home for generations of families.

The Need

Our historic home is a testament to the endurance of our faith, but time takes its toll. After 141 years of continuous service, our sanctuary requires significant structural preservation to ensure it remains a safe, welcoming, and accessible space for all. Rise & Restore is our sacred commitment to protect this landmark, ensuring that the walls which have held our prayers for generations will continue to hold the future of our community.

Join the Restoration

We are the stewards of this legacy. By restoring our home, we are securing our future. We invite every member, friend, and neighbor to help us reach our goal and ensure that Queen Street Baptist Church continues to stand as a beacon of love and service for the next 100 years.
