of Second Baptist Church:
“Becoming the Hands and Feet of Christ in the World”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.
