The pastor of a church in the north Seminole County community of Midway was kicked and beaten early Tuesday by two robbers who confronted him when he left his church, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said today.

The Rev. Leonard Lee Wilson, 47, of Sanford, suffered injuries to his head and face and was treated by paramedics from Seminole County Fire Rescue, Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Cannaday said.

The incident occurred about 4:15 a.m. at the St. Matthew's Missionary Baptist Church, 3724 Main St.

Wilson told deputies he worked late into the night preparing for a meeting when he realized how late it was and packed up to go home.
