Pleasant Green Baptist Church

 

Pleasant Green is a place for the members to grow in a church community., whether you are 2 or a 102, we want you to be involved in the church community by serving in any capacity you choose. A vision as bold and vast as ours must be guided by principles relative to worshiping God. Some objectives have been chosen to guide Pleasant Green in the fulfillment of its Christian Ministry. To this end we are forever striving to become: A Bible based, theologically relevant church, a church committed to increasing the love of God and the love of our neighbors in the world, a Spirit-filled church called to be led by God’s mission and to work for liberation, justice and the salvation of the human family as evidenced by our advocacy on behalf of the poor, homeless, and powerless in society, a church committed to investing in the youth to ensure that they have resources to become contributors and not detractors in society, a church committed to fighting against racism,sexism, age discrimination and human exploitation, a church living dependently upon God, committed to resourceful and faithful stewardship and finally, a church committed to the full development of all persons as children of God, working to be inclusive in all areas of the church’s ministry, and committed to the diversity of persons gifts to serve the purpose of God.

When the Sabbath was established in Exodus, God didn’t just say rest, God spoke to Moses and hollowed out the Sabbath as a day of worship. When we worship God out of obedience to our covenant with God, God makes a promist to us. Exodus 23-25, “Worship the Lord your God, and  his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness fgrom among you and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. Thus, every Sunday morning we assemble with gladness in our hearts reaffirming the words of David in the 122 Psalm, “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the House of the Lord”

Room in the Inn Ministry

Mission Statement: The mission of the Room in the Inn is to serve the homeless through the following acts of service: (meals, serving, clothing, toiletry and other services). We do this from the first Friday in November through the last Friday in March every year. We fellowship with each other while we are  preparing and serving the homeless. Our meeting times are in June. We are planning a celebration of our ministry when we clean the church in preparation of our coming season of serving the homeless in October. We implement our services through the volunteer efforts of church members and community friends and organization who are willing to share of their resources. Through the coordination of work crew members, we seek to make a difference in the lives of the homeless men who are served each Friday. The ministers of the church and others participate in a devotion time at the beginning of each meeting of the men on Friday nights.
