Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church is situated within a rural farming community located in West Central Illinois just 40 miles north of the St. Louis Metro area. While we are located in Medora, our congregation comes from several small surrounding communities in the area. Mt. Pleasant has been blessed with a new, larger facility that serves to support the community and village activities within Medora along with several church ministries as well. Mt. Pleasant is a mission minded church that lives out the Acts 1:8 challenge with our mission to impact and engage our community in faith, hope and love. Our church’s vision is to Live by Faith, Share the Hope, and Be Known by Love. We are affiliated with the Illinois Baptist State Association (IBSA), the regional Macoupin Baptist Association (MBA), and the Southern Baptist Convention.
We are searching for an ordained and licensed pastor who has a passion for community outreach that can guide the church’s ministries and outreach programs, conduct weekly worship services, and shepherd and counsel the church body and surrounding community. We’re looking for a pastor who is in agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 and can support our ministries full time, but we are open to a bi-vocational pastor with God’s direction. Bible college or seminary training is preferred, and life experiences will also be taken into account. For more information on Mt. Pleasant, visit our website at
