Ravenna Baptist Church

A Welcoming Church in a Close-Knit Michigan Town

If you’re the kind of pastor who loves both preaching the Word and grabbing coffee with folks in town, Ravenna Baptist Church in Ravenna, Michigan, might feel like home.

Ravenna is a small town (about 1,400 people) with a big heart. It’s the kind of place where people wave at each other on Main Street, cheer on the high school sports teams, and pitch in when a neighbor needs help. Agriculture and small businesses are the backbone of the community, and there’s a genuine sense of hospitality and connection woven into everyday life.

Ravenna Baptist is right in the middle of it all. With 275–325 in weekly attendance, it’s one of the largest churches in town and has become a hub for ministry, fellowship, and outreach. You’ll find a full worship band, kids and youth programs that are thriving, and a congregation that values both deep biblical teaching and living out their faith in practical ways.

This is a church that loves families, invests in the next generation, and creates space for people to grow together. Whether it’s Serve Sunday, AWANA, or Club 55 gatherings, Ravenna Baptist is all about creating opportunities for people to connect with God and each other.

The right pastor for Ravenna Baptist will be someone who thrives in a small-town setting but appreciates being just a short drive from the beaches of Lake Michigan or the city life of Grand Rapids. If you’re approachable, love people, and can balance shepherding care with visionary leadership, you’ll find a community here that’s ready to follow where God leads next.
