Mayfield Baptist Church is looking for a passionate leader who is enthusiastic to see people connect with God, grow to be more like Jesus, and is excited to serve here and beyond MBC.

Mayfield Baptist Church is a mid-to-large church in Newcastle that has a rich history spanning over a century, and we’re a vibrant, multi-generational community with people of all ages, from newborns to those over 90. As we look ahead to our next one hundred years, we’re excited about the opportunities God has in store for us in this new season.

We embrace a unique flat leadership model, with no single senior pastor.

Every staff role is intentionally shaped around our core values, fostering collaboration and inclusivity across our church community.
