About Ekron Baptist Church:

Ekron Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist church that is partnered with the Kentucky Baptist Convention and the Salem Association of Baptist Churches. We are located 55 minutes south of Louisville, KY and 30 minutes west of Elizabethtown, KY. Ekron is a small rural community that has seen tremendous growth in the last few years with Nucor Steel Mill being built in the county. We recently built and renovated our facilities for both our adult and youth/children ministries to accommodate church growth. We are a multi-generational church that wants to continue to grow our youth and children ministries through small group study and discipleship. We average approximately 180 regularly in worship with approximately 40 students in Children/Youth Sunday School. We are excited to see how God will use Ekron Baptist Church in this season of growth.

We will be accepting resumes until February 28, 2025.
