Senior Pastor Northern Heights Baptist Church

Northern Heights Baptist Church
Norfolk, NE

Northern Heights Baptist Church is a thriving Southern Baptist Church located in Norfolk (pronounced Nor-fork), the 7th largest city in Nebraska. From its humble beginnings as a house church in 1970, Northern Heights has grown to become a thriving congregation of about 400 that has also supported the planting of several other churches, including a Spanish-speaking congregation of about 100 which also meets on our main campus.

The previous senior pastor led Northern Heights well from 2003 to 2023. Under his tenure, Northern Heights outgrew previous facilities, purchased a 20-acre site on the north side of town, and built a multi-million-dollar facility that is now completely paid for. We are currently being led by an Intentional Interim Pastor (from IPM) who has (1) helped us get healthy, (2) mobilized biblically-driven leadership, and (3) re-energized us in our earthly mission of making disciples.

We are ready, with God’s help and that of the man of His choosing, to take things to the next level. This individual will be an effective and inspiring teacher of God’s Word. He will be a motivating and encouraging team-builder for our staff (6 paid staff), elders (currently 6, but 3 more coming soon) and many lay ministry leaders. He will be the kind of man who relates well to others and whose wise and godly counsel is sought out.

And, he will be a man who is energized by our earthly assignment to make disciples of every people group. Based on these qualities, such a man will be a growth asset and ministry coach for a people on mission.
