He has served as a full-time pastor at nine churches and as interim in others. Churches that he ministered full-time range from thirty-five in membership to more than three thousand—Windfall Baptist Church in Windfall, Indiana, and Lynhurst Baptist Church in Indianapolis respectively.
In 1989, he retired from full-time ministry to go back to Indiana. He planned to farm, fish, fill in if a church needed help on a temporary basis, do some carving, and enjoy a life of retirement. However, God was not ready for him to retire, and he let him know that. From 1989 to 1997, Reverend Wright preached almost every Sunday as interim preacher at churches in Indiana and has been full-time pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in Owen County, Indiana (near Spencer, Indiana), since 1997. This is longer than any other minister has been at Bethel Church.
If it be God’s will, Reverend Wright will celebrate his ninetieth birthday in April of 2017. In 2017 he will also celebrate being in the ministry for sixty-five years and being at Bethel Baptist Church for twenty years—if it is God’s will.ver menos
