A Church that strives to Transform, Renew, Unite, and Empower the people of God.

— Psalm 100:4 (KJV)

A Word of Welcome

You are welcomed at True Praise.

Whether you are seeking the Lord for the first time, returning after a long absence, or have walked with Him for years — there is a seat for you at True Praise Missionary Baptist Church. We are an imperfect people serving a perfect Savior, and we believe that God still moves among His people when they gather in His name.

Come as you are. Bring your questions. Bring your burdens. Bring your praise. We will meet you with the Word of God, the love of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

In His service, Pastor Earnest Helaire Jr. Pastor · True Praise MBC
Who We Are

Our Vision & Mission

✠

Vision

As a congregation, we reject the mindsets of this world and actively seek the renewing of our minds to prove God's good, acceptable and perfect will. Though we encounter outward trials, we stand strong because our inner man is spiritually renewed day by day. We anchor our fellowship in the beauty of a Christ-centered fellowship, pursuing a harmonious community where believers can dwell together in unity. We will be empowered by the Holy Ghost to step out of our comfort zones to actively spread the gospel.

✦

Mission

To worship God in spirit and in truth, to make disciples through the faithful teaching of His Word, and to serve our community as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

☩

Values

Scripture as our authority. Prayer as our practice. Family as our foundation. Mission as our calling. And love — always love — as the mark by which we are known.
