Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church – Keene, Virginia

Our pastor Gene Woodson is a native of Goochland County and a second generation pastor. He has been our pastor here since September 2012. As a student of God’s word, he stands on teaching and preaching the truth as the scriptures say, “…there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” As God has afforded him life through His Son, Jesus, this good news must be shared with all men. He serves as Director of Home and Foreign Missions of Piedmont District Baptist Association, and believes that Jesus’ concern was for the whole man, and as a student of the world he knows that no one cares what you know until they know that you care. His favorite scripture is Philippians 4:6-7, Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Pastor Woodson and his wife Annie have five children and four grandchildren which reminds them of the congregation that they serve…everybody has their own personalities and gifts, but all need the same love and care.
