Mobile pastor Bradrick Vail, who was accused of raping two women in Prichard and Mobile, has been found guilty on seven counts of the lesser charge of sexual misconduct.
The jury deliberated over parts of two days before returning the verdict.
Investigators say he met both alleged victims through his church, Tree of Life Deliverance Ministries on Stanton Road.
The two women testified that he sexually assaulted them.
Vail had been charged with three counts of first-degree rape, one count of first-degree sodomy and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse. Those are all felonies.
But the jury opted to convict on misdemeanors charges, meaning the maximum punishment is one year in jail on each count.
Mobile County Circuit Judge Jill Phillips allowed Vail to remain free on bond until sentencing, which she set for April 7.
