Woodbury Baptist Church in Woodbury, MN, is searching for a Senior Pastor to guide its diverse, multi-generational congregation toward deeper discipleship and greater community impact.

 

About the Church 

Woodbury Baptist Church is a gospel-rooted, mission-minded congregation that gathers to glorify God, grow to become more like Christ, and go to share the gospel. With a rich 60+ year history, this church blends tradition with vision.

In recent years, the church has embraced a renewed mission, clarified its core values, and refreshed its governing documents. With strong lay leadership, no debt, and an eagerness to deepen its neighborhood presence, the church is poised for a new season of growth and impact.
