The family of Reverend Davis is working to establish the Leonard R. Davis Foundation with a goal of creating a digital archive for future generations. They are currently seeking our help in collecting recordings of sermons, photos, notes, programs, and other materials from Reverend Davis’s years of ministry and service here at Mount Moriah. If you or someone you know may have content to share, please upload it to https://lrdfoundation.wetransfer.com. See any member of the Media Ministry if you have questions or need assistance.

Dr. Jonathan C. Smith, Pastor of Administrative Operations
With great joy and thanksgiving, I come before you today to declare the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. The Lord continues to shower the Mount Moriah Church with His undue faithfulness. The year 2025 has been a year to remember in the life of our church. Construction continued, and now we have a good portion of the fellowship hall classroom spaces framed and walled in. Framing for the sanctuary is substantially underway. And so, as we move into 2026, we’re asking every member to do two things:
1. Continue to pray for the project
2. Help us pay for the project. In 2026, we are asking every member to give at least an additional $26 above their regular giving each month. That totals an additional $312 from every member for the year 2026.
One in Prayer - October
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23
October is Loyalty Month and Clergy Month at Mt. Moriah. The theme is “A Challenge to Remain Faithful to God”. The focus of our One in Prayer Project for the month of October will coincide with the theme. Pray daily at 1pm that we acknowledge and are grateful for the guidance in this verse and apply it in our daily walk with God.
