MOTHER ROSE: Filling Bowls and Blessing Souls at New Mount Rose.

 



MOTHER ROSE: Filling Bowls and Blessing Souls at New Mount Rose.


FORT WORTH, TEXAS - Since its faithful planting in 1964, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church has served as a sacred beacon of hope, healing, and holistic ministry in the heart of Southside Fort Worth. Known today as “Mother Rose,” this historic congregation has matured into more than just a church—it is a spiritual matriarch, nurturing generations with the love of Christ and the power of community.


Just as a devoted mother feeds her children, tends their wounds, and guides their growth, Mother Rose has been a source of comfort, wisdom, and strength for countless lives. From its humble origins to its present-day outreach, this ministry has filled bowls with food, souls with faith, and neighborhoods with new life.



A Legacy Rooted in Love


Planted by Pastor Milford Kelly during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, New Mount Rose was born out of struggle and shaped by hope. It quickly became a refuge for African American families who sought not only a house of worship, but a house of righteous resistance.


From organizing voter drives to hosting freedom clinics, New Mount Rose stood tall as a cradle of justice and a classroom of discipleship. In every era since, it has been a training ground for leaders and a healing place for the brokenhearted.





A Clinic Without Walls


Today, Mother Rose operates as a Clinic Without Walls, where the needs of body, mind, and soul are treated with dignity and love. This is a church where ministry moves beyond the pulpit, serving the people seven days a week—right where they are.

• Food Insecurity? Mother Rose combats hunger through monthly Community Food Bowls, feeding hundreds of families in partnership with local food banks, farmers, and volunteers.

• Gun Violence & Trauma? The church stands as a safe place and spiritual hospital, where grieving families, troubled youth, and weary hearts find refuge, counseling, and care.

• Health Inequities? Mother Rose leads the way in promoting health education, chronic illness prevention, mental health awareness, and wellness programs that bridge the life expectancy gap in underserved communities.

• Educational Barriers & Economic Despair? Through its “Head of the College, Heart of the Church, and Hands of the Community” model, Mother Rose partners with local institutions to help shape minds, stir dreams, and secure brighter futures.



Bibles Without Borders


A shining example of its unifying mission is the church’s Vacation Bible School (VBS)—a multicultural, intergenerational gathering that brings together three cities, numerous congregations, and diverse cultures under the name of Jesus Christ. It is not just a summer event—it is a spiritual summit that breaks barriers and builds bridges.


At VBS, young people learn biblical truths. Families rediscover faith. And communities come together under one cross, one calling, and one Christ.





A Community Anchor


Mother Rose is more than a Sunday service—it is a movement of mercy and mission. Whether distributing blankets to students, delivering meals to seniors, or providing resources to single parents, this church has become a foundation of faith and forward motion in Fort Worth.


Under the visionary and community-centered leadership of Pastor Kyev Tatum, Mother Rose has become a citywide convener and national voice, blending gospel preaching with justice teaching—shaping policy while shaping people.





A Lasting Impact


The work of Mother Rose is not symbolic—it is structural, spiritual, and systemic. The church is actively confronting the most pressing issues facing urban communities:

• Gun Violence: Through prayer walks, youth mentoring, and peacemaking partnerships.

• Food Deserts: Through mobile food distributions and nutrition education.

• Economic Inequity: Through entrepreneurship support and job-readiness training.

• Hopelessness: Through the preaching of the gospel and daily acts of love.


At every level, Mother Rose is declaring: “We are the hands and feet of Jesus in Fort Worth.”




Mother Rose of the City


Yes, New Mount Rose has become Mother Rose of the City—always caring, always sharing, and always giving God the glory.


Though her physical address may sit on Mississippi Avenue, her influence reaches every neighborhood, every zip code, and every soul that cries out for hope.


Filling Bowls and Blessing Souls is more than a slogan at Mother Rose—it’s a sacred covenant. It is the heart of who we are. It is the mission we live out every day. It is the mantle we carry for generations to come.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
