The Purple Rose of Texas: The Story of the New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, Texas.
“Filling Bowls, Blessing Souls.” Proverbs 19:17
In the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, there blooms a church with a mission as rich and deep as its name, the New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, affectionately known as The Purple Rose of Texas. The color purple, a symbol of royalty, reflects our divine inheritance as children of the Most High, while the rose represents the healing power of Jesus Christ, the true balm for a wounded world. Together, these symbols shape our identity as a congregation devoted to spreading the Gospel through love, service, and unwavering faith.
A Commitment to Christ and Community
Since 2018, New Mount Rose has been steadfast in its mission to uplift the least, the last, the lost, and the left out. Rooted in Proverbs 19:17, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” At New Mount Rose, our work extends beyond the walls of our sanctuary into the streets, homes, and hearts of our community. Our ministry is not confined to sermons spoken from the pulpit; it is lived out through our thoughts, words, and deeds, demonstrating God’s love in action.
Filling Bowls, Blessing Souls
One of the defining hallmarks of The Purple Rose of Texas is our commitment to feeding the hungry and healing the brokenhearted. Through initiatives like the MLK Hunger Bowl, Farm Fort Worth, Community Food Bowls, and various food drives, we ensure that no soul in our community goes hungry, physically or spiritually. We believe that nourishing the body is just as important as nourishing the soul, for both are acts of divine love.
Our outreach is not just about charity; it is about fairness and justice. We stand as a beacon of hope in a community that has faced historical inequities, offering economic empowerment, advocacy, and educational opportunities. Through faith and action, we seek to restore dignity, create opportunities, and inspire transformation.
A Place of Worship, A Sanctuary of Healing
At New Mount Rose, worship is more than a Sunday experience, it is a daily commitment to living in Christ’s love. Our sanctuary is a refuge for the weary, a house of prayer for the broken, and a place of renewal for all who seek God’s presence. Here, the wounded find healing, the hopeless find encouragement, and the faithful find strength to continue the good fight.
We are not just a church; we are a family, a body of believers bound by love for Christ and one another. Through worship, discipleship, and service, we cultivate a spirit of unity, ensuring that every member of our congregation finds their purpose in God’s plan.
As we continue our journey, The Purple Rose of Texas remains committed to being a light in the darkness, a shelter in the storm, and a bridge to Christ’s love for all people. We stand on the truth of the Gospel, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and devoted to making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Through our love for Jesus and our concern for our fellow man, we will press forward, spreading the Gospel, uplifting the downtrodden, and building a future where faith, hope, and love reign supreme.
We salute the Purple Rose of Texas, where we fill bowls and bless souls! Lord have mercy! Visit us at www.newmountrose.com
