Rev. A. Carl Prince, M.Div.

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1

Greetings my brothers and sisters in the precious and omnipotent name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you are looking for authentic praise and worship, we are delighted to have you visit us at Mount Hope Baptist Church (MHBC). With a multiplicity of ministries to meet your needs we warmly welcome you to the Mount Hope Baptist Church website!

Through our unapologetic African American vernacular, we intentionally share our faith, culture and specialized religious expressions as a people of God. In a word, we are a people of Holy Ghost power who also affirm the power of prayer in our lives. We are a people of social and spiritual purpose. That purpose is to publicly proclaim the Good News of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we are not ashamed to give God the praise!

As a people of God, we invite you to plug in and become a part of the move of the Holy Spirit at MHBC as we engage in worship and praise, study God's Word and engage in redemptive ministries to change lives to change the world!
