Priest for Pastoral Care

Midway Baptist Church in Wichita, KS is seeking a bi-vocational pastor to preach, shepherd, and serve alongside our Elder Team.

Midway Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist congregation seeking to serve and grow as a healthy local church for years to come. After a season of transition, we are committed to becoming a church with an environment that allows people to feel secure and protected; a welcoming atmosphere for people of all backgrounds, holistic care for members and the community, and encouragement: a place where people are received with warmth, supported spiritually and personally, and bolstered in the hope of the gospel. We are seeking a pastor who understands both the needs and opportunities of a smaller church and is willing to help us continue to grow in faithfulness, outreach, and care.
