Reaching The Nations For Christ

MISSIONS MONTH

Touching Lives Across America and Around the World

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest parts of the earth." Acts 1:8

We have many members or former members of Second Baptist who have been called to the mission field. Please have your classes pray for them or "adopt a missionary" and pray for them once a month.

Mission Trips

Second offers many opportunities to participate in mission trips designed with both single adults and families in mind, within the continental United States, as well as to international destinations. Trips focus on a variety of activities, including Vacation Bible School, community outreach, building projects, church planting and medical and/or dental services. Throughout the year, up-to-date information, trip costs and training dates are posted on this page.
