Mount Vernon Baptist Church

What Mount Vernon Baptist Church does

Mount Vernon Baptist Church is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) religious organization founded in 1956 and headquartered at 850 Mount Vernon Highway NW in Sandy Springs, Georgia, just north of downtown Atlanta. The church operates as an elder-led, congregationally governed community of approximately 12 paid staff (Senior Pastor, three Associate Pastors, Administrative Director, Facility Director, Children's Ministry Director, Pastoral Assistant, and support staff) alongside 25+ unpaid lay leaders serving as Elders, Deacons, and Ministry Coordinators. Its doctrinal identity centers on expositional preaching, reformed theology, meaningful membership, and an elder-led congregational polity.

The church's core product is weekly corporate worship — Sunday morning services at 10:30am, Sunday evening prayer at 5:00pm, and Wednesday evening gatherings with fellowship meal and classes — supplemented by a comprehensive Sunday School and equipping program for adults, youth (grades 6–12), and children (newborn through 5th grade). Membership is structured through a four-part "Knowing MVBC" class and a signed Church Covenant; pastoral oversight is exercised through a plurality of Elders, with Deacons assigned to functional areas (Finance, Personnel, Missions, Member Care, Baptism, Lord's Supper). Additional programming includes Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Women's Ministry (fall gathering, Christmas brunch, winter retreat), and Covenant Groups meeting in homes every three weeks to discuss the prior Sunday's sermon. Beyond its own congregation, the church hosts the annual Feed My Sheep pastors conference (since 2013), FMS Pastors Wives conference, 9Marks Weekender, and a five-month Pastoral Internship Program offering up to 18 seminary credit hours through Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings (online via Church Center, plus checks, cash, bank bill pay, and securities), with minor secondary income from conference registration fees (e.g., 9Marks Weekender at $150–$180) and Wednesday meal fees. The church sustains international mission partnerships in the Middle East (including the church-planted Immanuel Church of Fujairah in the UAE), Central Asia, East Asia, Germany, Scotland, and the Dominican Republic, alongside local partnerships with Sandy Springs Mission, Good Samaritan Health Center, Cobb Pregnancy Services, and Wears Valley Ranch. Governance affiliations include the Southern Baptist Convention, Greater Atlanta Baptist Network, ACME Fellowship of Churches (founding board membership), The Pillar Network, and 9Marks (Senior Pastor Aaron Menikoff serves on multiple boards).
