New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

At New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church, the 9:30 a.m. Sunday School hour is followed by worship at 10:15 at 619 Greenville Drive in Williamston. Tuesday Bible study begins at 6 p.m. Worship, Gospel preaching, Bible teaching, evangelism, missions, and Christian living form the congregation's stated mission. An isolated “closed” phrase extracted from the homepage belongs to a commented-out pastoral-search notice in the site's code, not to the church or its published service schedule; the active page continues to invite visitors and lists current worship information.

New Prospect was founded in 1870 after Black members of Big Creek Baptist Church sought their own place of worship, with help from that congregation. Its first meeting place was a brush arbor with wooden benches, followed by a log structure and eventually the present church; “Missionary” was added to the name in 1990. Ministries now include Christian education, youth, music, outreach, intercessory prayer, women, men, hospitality, and adults age fifty-five and older. The consecutive Sunday hours make class and worship easy to combine, while Tuesday offers a smaller study setting. Visitors should use the Greenville Drive address and the active service page rather than misreading the dormant search-banner text.
