Do you sense the Lord leading you to pastor a local church in Cleveland, Tennessee? Philippi Baptist Church is nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Cleveland, Tennessee. We are a Southern Baptist congregation with more than 150 active members and regular attendees. Our worship reflects a traditional Southern Gospel style, using both the Baptist Hymnal and the red-back Church Hymnal. We value faithful, expository preaching from the inerrant Word of God and use the King James Version in our worship services. Philippi gathers for worship and Bible study on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, and Wednesdays. Throughout the week, our church facilities are regularly filled with ministry and fellowship activities for all ages. God has blessed us with a beautiful facility that provides significant opportunities for future ministry and growth.
