What an incredible blessing it was today to visit Beulah Baptist Church, marking my 101st stop on this deeply meaningful journey of visiting every church in my city.

From the moment I walked through the doors, it was clear that this was a community deeply rooted in love, prayer, joy, and authentic faith.

The mission of Beulah Baptist Church resonated profoundly with me: bringing every generation together to spread the Gospel, comfort the weak, and create a genuinely welcoming community here on earth.

Seeing the congregation live this mission was truly inspiring.

The church beautifully blended multiple generations, from wise and experienced elders to young families, vibrant college students, and joyful children, all worshipping and fellowshipping side-by-side.

My heart was immediately warmed by the kindness and welcoming spirit of everyone I encountered.

A lovely woman named Fran greeted me with such genuine warmth, instantly making me feel seen and valued. Shortly after, another beautiful lady approached me with the most heartfelt and comforting hug, which truly lifted my spirits.

One of the highlights of my visit was meeting Dorine, Pastor Dennis’ wife.

She went out of her way to sit alongside me in the pew, engaging in a delightful and encouraging conversation, which meant the world to me.

Her warm, inviting spirit was reflected in our joyful selfie together, a memento I’ll always treasure.

Pastor Dennis himself made a wonderful impression as he thoughtfully made his way through the sanctuary, personally greeting and conversing with congregation members before the service began.

I was especially touched when he introduced himself, graciously posing for a photograph and making sure I felt right at home.

Additionally, meeting Pastor Bryan, a fellow native of West Virginia, made my visit even more special and comforting, reinforcing the genuine, approachable, and welcoming nature of this community.

The service was beautifully uplifting and spiritually fulfilling, especially as we celebrated the dedication of a precious little baby, a perfect reflection of the day’s sermon, “Jesus Loves The Little Children.

Pastor Dennis, gifted with a truly beautiful voice, led us in classic songs like “Jesus Loves Me” and “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” The entire congregation joined in, filling the sanctuary with heartfelt praise, warmth, and love.

The worship team and the Beulah Church Choir added to the magnificent atmosphere, delivering powerful and inspiring worship through their incredible talents.

The depth of this community’s prayer life also deeply touched me; it was moving to see the congregation intercede specifically for Thailand and Myanmar following a recent devastating earthquake.

Pastor Dennis’ sermon delivered a powerful message that spoke deeply to my heart.

He reminded us that Heaven is a place for the weak, the humble, the helpless, and those often overlooked.

He beautifully emphasized the importance of approaching Jesus with childlike humility and trust.

The sermon passionately underscored the necessity of bringing children to church and nurturing their spiritual lives, stressing the urgency of safeguarding our children’s hearts and spirits.

Pastor Dennis reminded us that tomorrow is never promised, encouraging us to live each day purposefully, guided by Jesus’ example and teachings.

Every single life holds immense significance and value in God’s eyes, a message that I know God wanted me to be reminded of.

Today’s experience at Beulah Baptist Church was profoundly special and healing for me.

I’m deeply grateful for every moment shared with this loving congregation and look forward to staying connected with such genuine believers.

I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to visit and experience the beautiful spirit that lives within this church.

I eagerly anticipate where the Holy Spirit will guide me next.

God continues to work miracles in my life, and today’s visit is another beautiful chapter in this ongoing journey of faith, healing, and connection.
