Our Ministries
We see the Kingdom of God as rooted in the words and works of Jesus. His love compels us to love all people, to bring hope and healing in His name, to seek justice and mercy, and to reflect His heart for the poor and broken-hearted. We are committed to making the Good News of the Kingdom tangible, understandable and accessible.
For us, church is so much more than just a Sunday service, and you should know that there is a perfect place for you here. Our goal is to provide a place for you to discover who it is that God created you to be, and allow Him to use you to bring His love and healing to Williamsburg and beyond.

Deacon's Ministry
Acts 6:1-3 defines the character and role of deacon. Deacons serve the Lord by conducting the caring ministry of the church, doing the benevolence work, visiting the sick, and being alert to the spiritual needs of the congregation. This work frees the pastor to focus on prayers and ministry of the Word, promoting unity within the church, and facilitating the spread of the Gospel. Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church has deacons and deaconesses to assist the pastor and serve the congregation.
Missionary Ministry
Everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is a Missionary. We invite you to join us not only in worship, but in training to serve, and going out to share Jesus Christ with others.

Anyone who has a heart to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and His people can be an usher.
