We exist to lead people to know and follow Jesus! Highview Baptist Church was founded in 1947 in the Highview neighborhood of Louisville, KY. Over 75 years later, we are a multi-site and multi-lingual church body, with campuses spread across the city. Our staff is vital to our mission. Preaching, shepherding, accounting, music, maintenance, videography, administration, and everything in-between—we believe that God has called our staff members to use our gifts to serve the body, lead the members to accomplish the work of ministry, and model a thriving walk with Jesus.
