I live in Virginia Beach, and used to live in Norfolk up until about a year ago. I would be happy to look up any addresses or phone numbers for anyone that needs them. I looked for a Ghent Methodist church. there are three Methodist churches in Norfolk according to my phone book. Grace Temple Community Church 500 E Bute St., Norfolk 757-627-6168 Greater Metropolitan AME Zion church 822 E. Brambleton Ave., Norfolk 757-627-9080 Hood Chapel AME Zion church 611 Rockingham St., Norfolk 757-543-1143 Of the three I know Brambleton is downton, so is very close to Ghent. That might be the one you're looking for.
