Prayer of Invocation/Confession

O God of Great and Wondrous Love, we adore You and we bless Your name. Hear us as we enter this sacred hour of worship. We come expecting to feel Your Presence. Your Presence nourishes our bodies, refreshes our hearts and renews our souls. Thank You for filling our hearts and strengthening our spirits with Your love. Your Presence and the sound of Your voice gives us hope. Gracious God, equip us with vision and empower us with courage. Holy Spirit, we want You to transform our lives. You love us and we know You desire the best for us, now and forever. Amen. 

OFFERTORY PRAYER

Eternal Lord, we are called to give our tithes, sacrificial offerings and mission gifts to You. We give today in response to what You have already given. We do not give to pressure You to give more to us. You have already given Your Son Jesus to save us, Your Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen us, Your church to teach and encourage us, and Your Holy Word to guide and correct us. We are blessed. Accept these gifts as expressions of our gratitude to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen. 

"Give to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come into His courts. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth."

Psalm 96:8-9

How do you feel about yourself and your ability to comfort, to heal, and to speak a word of forgiveness to another person? Have you done those things lately? The only true answer to this question is NO! We do not do anything. Rather, God heals, teaches, preaches, forgives and comforts through us. We are vessels. The Bible says in the Gospel of John, chapter 14... "The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you...Don't be troubled or afraid." May I encourage you to live by faith in the days and weeks ahead, and lean on the Holy Spirit of God! We have a Companion who is powerful and available.

A Brief History of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church

In 1924 a few officers and members of Mount Beulah, banded together and organized a church which they named Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Two ministers worked together in the organization of the church. This small faithful group of people purchased a lot at 20470 Wisconsin in Detroit. More people moved into the area, joined Mount Lebanon Baptist Church and the name was changed to First Baptist Church.

Reverend Smith served as Pastor until 1929. Reverend Theodore Williams served from 1931 until 1935. The church called Reverend Pyles who served about three years and rebuilt First Baptist. He was unable to finish rebuilding the church because God called him from labor to reward. Reverend Sandy Gibson, who was the assistant to Reverend Pyles, carried out his term and was elected for a short period in 1939.

Reverend Charles B. Heath was called as pastor in the spring of 1939. Much was accomplished under Reverend Heath’s administration. Due to the fact that there were two churches in Detroit with the same name, Reverend Heath had the church change its name from First Baptist to New Prospect Baptist Church on January 7, 1945.

In 1953 the church voted to enlarge their present building. The members were supportive of this effort and contributed considerably. In March 1960, the members borrowed ten thousand dollars and made the down payment to purchase the 6330 Pembroke building. Reverend Heath pastored the church for twenty eight (28) years until his death in 1967.

In February 1968, the church called Reverend Dr. S. Leon Whitney from Jackson, Mississippi. Under his pastoral leadership an addition to the Pembroke Property was made and the facilities were expanded to its current structure. There was much growth under Reverend Whitney until his death in December 1990. His son, Reverend Dr. Keith L. Whitney assumed the pastoral leadership from 1991 until 1996. Reverend Randolph F. Henlon who was the Assistant Pastor at the time served as Interim Pastor from 1996 until March 1999.

On March 1, 1999, history was made in Detroit. Reverend Wilma Robena Johnson, a female assistant pastor at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, was elected Senior Pastor of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church. A new light appeared in the community.

This is the church where the spirit of unity abides.

this is the church where the vision lives and shines!
