Did the name Mount Sinai First Baptist Church ever bring to mind images of a ranch-style house of worship? Mount Sinai First Baptist Church has a fascinating history. It’s a story of faith, perseverance, and growth. It all began one evening in June 1971. A dedicated group of Christians gathered at Judea Baptist Church in Dallas. Their mission was to establish a new Baptist church. Over one hundred individuals, led by the late Rev. Floyd D. Harris, joined in this effort. The late Dr. U. S. Cornelius was called to lead the congregation. Upon his suggestion, they christened their new community “Mount Sinai Baptist Church.” Fifty charter members embarked on this spiritual journey together. Sadly, only thirteen of those original members remain today. In 1973, the Mount Sinai congregation moved into their first church building on Pemberton Hill Road. It was a humble ranch-style building. However, it represented a significant milestone, a place they could truly call their own. The church continued to grow and thrive under Dr. Cornelius’s leadership. He emphasized the importance of patience and trust in God, especially during challenging times. In February 1993, Mount Sinai First Baptist Church experienced another momentous occasion. They acquired a new, beautifully landscaped church on Lake June Road. The congregation marched into their new home filled with joy and gratitude. Dr. Cornelius passed away in 1999. After a period of searching, Dr. Stephen L. Jones accepted the call to become the new pastor in 2000. Under Dr. Jones’s guidance, the church reached another significant achievement in 2002. They were able to retire the debt on their Lake June Road building. A special mortgage burning ceremony was held, symbolizing a significant step in the church’s journey. Mount Sinai First Baptist Church stands today as a testament to the dedication and perseverance of its congregation. From humble beginnings in a ranch-style building to its current location, the church has remained a beacon of faith in the Dallas community.
