Outreach: Serving as the Hands and Feet of Christ
Second Baptist Church members are a mission-minded people. Currently, members of the church have formed nine mission groups, seven of them new over the past year, that give expression to our call to be the hands and feet of Christ:Fellowship Opportunities
We believe that fellowship is vital in the life of our congregation. We want every member to experience the support and healing that can result from sharing individual and family needs, the renewal of spirit from positive interactions with other people of faith. Fortunately, we have many opportunities to get to know each other better.
