Mandan Baptist Church is a smaller church with a steady presence in Mandan, North Dakota, part of the Bismarck–Mandan (BisMan) metro area, home to roughly 133,000 people. While Mandan has its own identity, it’s closely connected to Bismarck just across the Missouri River, sharing in the life of the state capital and serving as a regional center for government, healthcare, education, and commerce.
This is a church that values faithfulness, relationships, and the steady work of ministry. Mandan Baptist isn’t trying to be trendy or flashy. Instead, they’re focused on preaching the Word, caring well for people, and being a consistent gospel presence in their community. It’s the kind of place where people show up, know each other, and appreciate a pastor who is present and engaged.
The pastor role is hands-on and relational. You’ll preach and teach Scripture regularly, provide pastoral care, and help guide the church forward alongside committed lay leaders. This is a role for someone who enjoys being accessible, building trust over time, and leading a smaller congregation with clarity and humility. You won’t be managing a large staff, but you will be shepherding people who value personal connection.
Living in the BisMan area offers stability, opportunity, and a healthy pace of life. With strong schools, medical facilities, higher education, and a cost of living that supports long-term roots, it’s a great place for a pastor or family looking to invest deeply in both church and community.
Mandan Baptist Church is looking for a pastor who wants to serve faithfully, lead thoughtfully, and build meaningful relationships in a church and city where steady leadership truly matters.
