About Us

Our beloved church

In November of 1979, the Lord inspired our Pastor, the then, Elder Jerome S. Wilcox to establish a work for Him.  Within a week God proved Himself to His manservant by allowing him to procure the Mt. Ararat Primitive Baptist Church.  However, before the church’s inception Elder Wilcox’s mother, Mother Shirley Virginia Echols, was led by God to pray for his ministry.  After prayer she prophesied, “The Church is in this House!” 

Throughout the years our church and congregation has grown tremendously. Our Pastor is a renowned anointed gospel preacher. The church’s aggressive outreach to minister to countless individuals has lifted many families in the Trenton community and surrounding areas.

“Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 7:12.

WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE THE INSPIRED, ONLY INFALLIBLE AND AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD.

WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTENT IN THREE PERSONS: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST.

The Bishop's Choir

On November 13, 1999 The Bishop’s Choir completed its first live recording. It was held at the church, before a packed house of over 800 church members, family and supporters. There was such an atmosphere of expectancy and anointing that it was apparent from the start of the evening that God’s divine presence and sanction was on the project. The choir’s producer and musical director for the project was D. Corey Shipley who wrote Old Time Way; Give God the Highest Praise; and Go Tell It.  Three additional tracks entitled Worthy to Be Praised; Just To Abide and He Will make It Alright were written by the Minister of Music, Jeanne Wilcox- Rawls.
