Ridglea Heights Baptist Church is located in Jackson County, MS on the Gulf Coast. We are currently seeking a full‑time Worship Pastor. RHBC is situated between Biloxi, MS and Mobile, AL. Our average attendance on Sunday mornings is roughly 211. RHBC has been blessed to have a history of long‑tenured ministerial staff. 2024‑2025 has been a time of transition though as two of our full‑time staff retired from ministry and another stepped away from full‑time ministry to serve in various other capacities.

We recently hired a Student and Discipleship Pastor as well as a Children’s Minister. We are excited to see who God has to help lead our praise team (10‑12 people). We typically enjoy a blended style that includes hymns and modern praise songs. Our praise team has many vocalists and many instrumentalists (playing the piano, keyboard, drums, saxophone, acoustic and electric guitars, and the bass guitar).
