Mount Vernon Baptist Church was founded in 1900 on Curry–Marylee Road, later moving to its present site in 1925. From planting cotton to fund the first building, to merging with neighboring churches, to building sanctuaries, classrooms, and family ministries, the story of Mount Vernon has always been marked by God’s provision and the dedication of His people.

For 125 years, God has shown Himself faithful “to all generations” (Psalm 100:5). He has blessed Mount Vernon with growth and opportunities to serve—from the construction of the Family Life Center and the launch of UPWARD Basketball, to celebrating our Centennial in 2000, and most recently, the dedication of a new 16,000-square-foot worship center in March 2024.

What began as a small gathering of believers has grown into a thriving congregation with a rich history and a hopeful future. Through every season, one truth has remained the same: God has been faithful to all generations at Mount Vernon Baptist Church.
