Dr. Jamie Work

Interim Pastor

Dr. Jamison (Jamie) L. Work has served as a pastor and international missionary for 42 years in five churches, three states and in two foreign countries. While serving as a pastor in the U.S., Dr. Work sponsored three successful church plants, started two Christian schools, and initiated a Church Planting and Theological Training Institute. He and his wife served with the IMB for three years in the Middle East.

He has led a church revitalization project and led three of the five churches he pastored to sponsor church planting projects. He has also written a 40-Day Church Revitalization Prayer Guide that is broadly used across several state conventions. Dr. Work has served in various leadership roles within the local association, State Conventions, as well as the SBC. He has been heavily involved in local associational life in Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee, from Moderator to strategic planning teams. He has served on the Executive Board of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board, and on the SBC Executive Committee.

The heartbeat of Work’s ministry has been discipling, equipping, and mobilizing believers to embrace God’s call to disciple the nations, with special emphasis on the least-reached and unreached peoples in the 10/40 Window. He has personally led mission teams or mobilized other believers to carry the Good News to approximately 30 states and more than 25 international locations. Work’s last pastorate in the U.S. commissioned more than 50 people to go live on the international mission field and saw more than 100 people participate every year in short-term mission projects in the US and around the globe during his 18 years as their pastor.

Currently, Work serves as one of two IMB Associational Network Strategists. He works with Associational leaders in the Eastern half of the U.S. assisting them in everything from missions training events, resources, adopting unreached people groups, missionary connections, partnerships, Mission Conferences, preaching and speaking, leading AMS / DOM Cohorts for International Missions, Acts 1:8 organization, diaspora peoples, prayer partnerships, missions preaching, or anything else connected to our Global assignment from the Lord Jesus Christ.
