About us

A Church With A Purpose

God wants us to "Reach Up" in Worship to Him.
God wants us to "Reach Out" in bringing others to Him
God wants us to "Reach In" as we grow in His Word.

We believe that the God we serve is worthy of all praise and adoration.

We believe that Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and was raised from the dead in order to give us eternal life

We believe that Jesus should be central to everything we do.

As a Church, our focus should always be on Him. Worship is our chance to connect with Him in praise and we love to lift Him up. That's why worship is so vital to our growth in the Christian life. It really should be the very breath we ever breathe...to give Him the honor and glory that only He deserves.

We teach to extend Grace

We worship hard and pray harder
We are a church without walls
It is our mission to reach the lost and broken
We love God's Word and want our lives to line up with His

Our Ministries

We are a multi-generational church that strives to love like Jesus.

People who attend our church come from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. Some come from churches of different types such as Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc. Others come with no church or religious background at all. Suddenly, they find themselves at a Baptist church. What does that mean? Many have understood the Baptist church by its common stereotypes, but we can assure you that the Second family is not your conventional church. We are unique. We believe church should be fun and exciting, yet without compromising the truth of God's Word, the Bible.

Youth Ministry

Each Sunday during our 10:45 service your children can enjoy a Biblical lesson and plenty of fun, alongside others their age in our wonderful Kids’ space. Grades K-5th

Children Ministry

Our goal is to connect students to Jesus and to each other.

Each week we gather together in a fun and engaging environment, meant to show 6th-12th grade students who Jesus is. We meet each Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 pm.

Young at Heart

Young at Heart (YAH) provides opportunities throughout the year for older adults (55 and older) to gather and fellowship once a month.

Thanksgiving Meal

Each year we host a community-wide thanksgiving Meal! This is a free thanksgiving meal, for anyone in our area.

Our Staff

Mike Peterson

Pastor
"I can't imagine serving anywhere else."
I love being the pastor of Second Baptist Church because I know first of all that this is where God wants me. Over these years God has given me such good friends that I feel like I've been here all of my life. I enjoy worshiping with my church family every week. I can't imagine being anywhere else. One of my favorite verses is Luke 1:37 which says, "For nothing is impossible with God". That's such a limitless promise that it trumps whatever is going on in my life. And I like that.
Cordell Kingsley

Youth & Worship Pastor
“I believe God is using our Church to change our community.”
My heart is to serve the church. I love getting to worship and serve with the people and youth of this community. I believe we will see a new generation of Jesus followers, that will change our world.
