Eastside Baptist Church

Eastside Baptist Church is a multi-generational church in the heart of the MS Delta. We have been described as a church that excels in love, and that is certainly our goal. We average about 75 for Sunday morning worship, and have strong Sunday school, children, and youth programs. We also sponsor a children’s ministry at the local school. We support the local community college BSU and Baptist Children’s Village and are generous supporters of the Cooperative Program. We do prefer a seminary education or someone who is pursuing it. We have services Sunday morning and night and Wednesday night prayer meetings. Foremost to us in a pastor is that he preaches the Word of GOD. We also would like for him to keep some office hours (to be negotiated) and work well with our deacon body and support staff. He would conduct the usual special services including baptisms, communion, weddings, and funerals. And we would appreciate his visiting his flock when needed. Ours is a small community and we work with sister churches when opportunity arises, such as our thriving Wed. night community-wide youth meeting. We have a nice parsonage near the church and a lovely church campus. Our desire is to minister to our community and beyond, and we anticipate GOD sending us just the right person to lead us to the next level in ministry.
