Missionary Baptist Church
A place of promise, purpose, and possibilities
Senior Pastor
Rev. Dr. Ralph E. Howard, Senior Pastor
It is truly great to be a part of this church and participate in what the Lord has planned for our community and the in the members of Paradise. Those who are part of this ministry share many values and principles that are grounded in the word of God. We walk by faith and believe in the power of God to shape the life of each believer to fulfill their purpose and destiny.
Paradise is a community that is committed to live in faith while we work out God's plan for the salvation of the world. The work of the church is to do the will of the Lord and be an assembly of people that touches lives around the world in meaningful and lasting ways.
Those who seek a church that believes in serving the whole of the human person will find that they have a home at Paradise. Many years ago God revealed to me a vision of what He expected for his church. He spoke to me that the church must never be a place that speaks only to the soul of man while it abandons the whole of man. God created man as a living soul which means that the whole of person is important to God. He has equipped each of us with mind, body and soul. The mission of the church should always be concerned and
compassionate enough to be a place that strives to impact and to restore the whole person to the place that God has intended. For this reason, I commit to God that Paradise Church will be vigilant and not neglect our duty to feed, cloth, train, teach, and serve the needs of the whole person and equip people to live in the fullness of life.
