Assessment

First Baptist Mt Pleasant appears to have elder-led governance (separate elder email: elders@fbcmtpleasant.org). Located at 2201 Texas Highway 49 (differs from placeholder). Multiple websites (fbcmp.org, fbcmtpleasant.org). Elder governance structure is a positive accountability indicator. Specific pastor name not confirmed — church may use elder-led model without a single 'senior pastor.'

Enrichment Notes

fbcmtpleasant.org (not fbcmp.org in batch) is the correct URL. Strong elder-plurality structure.
