welcome to second baptist

Second Baptist Church

We’ve grown deep roots in the  community, through outreach, innovation and inclusiveness. Believing “Every Member is a Minister,” lay-led community partnerships thrive. Our history includes helping launch many social service organizations and vital relationships with other faith groups. Women have been ordained to ministry positions since the 1970s.

Whether you're exploring faith, searching for a church home, or simply looking for a place to belong, we invite you to join us.




LOVE

Rooted in grace, we live out love through our words, actions and care for others.




ALL

We embrace  every person – without exception. Our church community thrives on our differences, welcoming everyone into full participation. Second B is a place where the questions are more important than the answers.




NOW

We act with purpose and urgency, meeting the needs of our community today.

WORSHIP

Worship honors the beauty of tradition while embracing the creativity of today, combining the richness of historic liturgical practices with fresh, contemporary elements.

Worship is where we come together-multi-generational, inclusive, and diverse-to glorify God and celebrate the giftedness of each person.

At Second B, there’s no dress code—come in a suit, jeans, or whatever makes you comfortable. Our services are reverent yet warm, featuring choirs, processionals, responsive readings,  balanced by an inviting and joyful atmosphere.

2B KIDS MINISTRY

At Second Baptist Lubbock, our 2b Kids Ministry offers a fun, safe, and secure environment for children from birth through 5th grade to explore ministry and personal growth. Our program emphasizes three core values: Scripture and Bible Study, Relationships, and Worship.

scripture and bible study

We believe that the Bible stories children hear at church and home lay a spiritual foundation for their lives. Our Sunday morning Bible study classes at 9:30 am use a rotation curriculum model, dividing classes by grade (1st and 2nd grade; 3rd through 5th grade). Students engage with Bible stories over several weeks through various activities.

relationships

Building relationships with Christ, significant adults, youth, and peers is vital. We facilitate this through summer camps, church-wide fellowships, and missions education, helping children connect with Christ and others.

worship

Children are welcome in worship at 2b. Pre-K and Kindergarteners start in the worship center and participate in a special children's time before moving to the children's wing for age-appropriate activities. Older children (1st–5th grade) are invited to lead worship as acolytes, scripture readers, and members of our children's choir.

2B YOUTH MINISTRY

At Second Baptist Church, our 2b Youth Ministry aims to empower students to become faithful followers of Christ. Through Bible study and discussion, we encourage intentional living and provide a safe space for students to explore deep and challenging questions. Our ministry is built on three core values:

We prioritize honesty, even when it's difficult. Our goal is to create a safe environment where students can share their questions or doubts without fear or shame.

We are an inclusive community that celebrates each individual's uniqueness. We encourage youth to interact with people of all ages at Second Baptist to foster healthy relationships. Additionally, our youth participate in community service projects.

Our youth regularly engage in service projects within our community, embodying the teachings of Christ through action.
