The mission of the Mount Vernon Baptist Church is to bring persons into a saving and redemptive relationship with Jesus Christ. Our only foundation is the Word of God. We fulfill our ministry as we proclaim and teach, pray and worship, forgive and reconcile. As we live by the example of our Christ, we empower others to carry out the commands of God. We seek only to be servants of God, as agents of healing and wholeness in a wounded and fragmented world.
