Welcome

     Welcome to our website!  We are Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church of Helena, AL.  We are a small church with a BIG heart!  We hope, in looking through our website, you get a taste of our heart’s desire to become all that God wants us to be-  a church who boldly professes our belief in and lifts up the powerful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  You will find the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church family to be welcoming, friendly, loving and caring to each other and to those in the surrounding communities that we serve.   We extend a heartfelt welcome for you to come worship with us.  For those who may be relocating to the local area or if you are in search of a church home, we would love to have you be our guest for Sunday School and worship service.  If the Holy Spirit so moves you, come on in and become a part of our church family. 

     Yours in Christ -   Pastor Edwin Dinkins
