Senior Pastor

Sweat Memorial Baptist Church, Waycross, Georgia

Sweat Memorial Baptist Church is prayerfully seeking a Pastor whom God has called to shepherd and lead our congregation.

SMBC is a Southern Baptist Church located in Ware County in Southeast Georgia. While our community is rural in nature, our church is considered relatively large for the area with an average attendance of 375 for Sunday services. In recent years, the Lord has blessed our church with growth, including the addition of many young couples and families. Our vibrant children’s programs, active church life, and strong music ministry—including choir and orchestra—have created a sense of excitement and optimism for the future.

We are a congregation of hard‑working, compassionate, loving, and faithful believers who desire to serve Christ and our community. Though our name is often mispronounced as “Sweet Memorial,” our members have embraced this as a reflection of the spirit of our church—a genuinely sweet, friendly, and loving fellowship. Even with recent growth, Sweat Memorial Baptist Church remains a rural, conservative Southern Baptist church.

We firmly believe the Word of God is inerrant, infallible, and our ultimate standard of truth.
