Vision
The foundational supports of our vision for the Second Baptist Church established
since our inception in 1848 have arrived in the twenty-first century still strongly
intact. We are committed to the substantive principles of our founders which include
church growth, church and community development, membership education, and service
to God.
The fulfillment of our church vision over the years is seen in our five areas of
focus. These areas of ministry which are designed to help us to accomplish our mission
and fulfill our vision are Worship, Fellowship, Membership Care, Christian Education,
and Missions. These pillars of faith support our twenty-first century mission statement:
“The purpose of the Second Baptist Church is to give visible form to faith and fellowship
to which God has called His people”. Second Baptist Church has a mandate from God
to continue to be a positive catalyst for social and spiritual progress in the local
and national community by being a Bible-believing congregation for the divine purpose
of community transformation.
