HISTORY

In 1945, after much prayer and sacrifice, God blessed the founders with the finances to build a church.
They built the church on block of 1106 Valentine.

VALUES
At Rose of Sharon Missionary Baptist Church, our core values are rooted in love, compassion, and inclusivity.
Our Motto "We Love People"​
We believe in creating a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can experience the transformative power of faith and community.
VISION
Our mission is to love God, to love people, to keep the great
commission and to help people discover life's purpose.
Rose of Sharon is a place of enrichment for every person at every age level we offer a wealth of opportunities - special programs and ministries for children, youth and adults which fill the church calendar.
Just as Jesus Christ came "not to be ministered unto, but to
minister . . ." we accept our responsibility to reach out in service to others. This applies both within the church family and in our community.
We make it a priority to build lasting bonds between the members of our church family and our community; bonds of concern and genuine commitment to one another.
Best of all, this circle of love is ever-widening. We'd love for it to include you, too.
