About Hebron Baptist Church
Hebron Baptist Church (HBC) of Jones County, Mississippi, is in need of a full-time senior pastor. Founded in 1882 as a rural church in a farming community, our church is mostly traditional in worship style with an average morning worship attendance of 108. Our church is a very loving, Christ-centered, prayerful, body of believers.
HBC understands the importance of ministry and missions, supporting several local ministries monthly as well as the Cooperative Program, and SBC mission offerings. HBC has also sent mission teams to China and Canada as well as neighboring states.
Our prayer ministry includes 6:00 am prayer meetings for men and ladies as well as a joint prayer service on Wednesday evenings.
We have a strong music program under the leadership of Minister of Music and Associate Pastor Richard Thames who has served HBC since 1987. Adult choir practice averages 24 and we have a long list of folks willing to serve as soloists. Our church is exceptionally gifted with musical talent. Easter and Christmas music programs are always highlights for the church and community.
James Rigdon leads our youth program with Sunday morning and Wednesday evening bible studies. Our youth are provided with numerous opportunities for spiritual growth through fun activities, trips, conferences, and more.
We also have a strong TEAM KID program on Wednesday evenings as well as adult bible study. Many children have come to know the Lord through AWANA and TEAM KID. The HBC Bible Drill team’s hard work routinely results in a “Superior” rating in associational and state bible drills. Vacation Bible School is well led and well attended.
HBC is 17 minutes from Laurel (Pop. 17,066) and 40 minutes from Hattiesburg (Pop. 48,455). West Jones Elementary School is 12 minutes away and West Jones High School is 18 minutes from HBC. Laurel Christian School and St. John’s Day School are available for a private Christian education in Laurel.
If you are an HGTV fan you may recognize Laurel, our quaint town, from the hit show Hometown featuring Ben and Erin Napier. Downtown Laurel is growing with new businesses, boutiques, children’s activities and eateries.
HBC understands, in these last days, it is necessary for our long term survival as a functioning and fruitful New Testament church to pursue and follow pastoral leadership faithful to and passionate about the work required by the Great Commission. If you as a pastor feel the Lord is leading you to a new place of service and that you may be a fit with HBC, please email your resume to [email protected] or mail to 16 Hebron Church Road, Soso, MS 39480.
