But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."Joshua 24:15 NIV
Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Family Life Ministry focuses on ministering to the entire family, from engagement; to marriage, from marriage to parenting, to grand-parenting. We support and nurture those from other countries. Because the body is the temple of God We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by blood, marriage, or adoption. It is also the focus of the Family Life Ministry to help members grow in applying God’s word, through bible study within the many ministries. Therefore, equipping families to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20)
