Welcome to

Welcome to Second Baptist Church of Richmond, Virginia!

We focus on the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We practice vibrant worship, deep discipleship, warm fellowship, and multi-faceted mission work. We uphold Baptist principles of biblical authority, believer’s baptism, the priesthood of all believers, local church autonomy, and religious freedom for all. We affiliate with Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). We welcome all people to join us as we walk with God in the way of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Join us for Advent

Advent is a season of reflection and anticipation as we prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. It’s a time to renew our hope, peace, joy, and love through His coming.

We invite you to join us as we journey through this special season.

A Jazz Christmas With David Esleck

Join us again this Advent season for a spectacular musical event here at Second Baptist Church! Dr. David Esleck, along with a host of talented local musicians, will perform sacred and secular seasonal favorites in a variety of styles, including traditional big band, Dixieland, rock, and R&B.

Upcoming Events

Creative Learning Center is a ministry of Second Baptist Church

CLC seeks to glorify God through teaching, loving, and supporting young children and their families. We believe that each child is a unique creation of God, and our CLC staff members want to partner with parents to help children grow in every area of development. We strive for excellence in all that we do, and it is our desire to provide an exceptional experience for all staff, children, and families at CLC.

Need Prayer?

There are times when life is overwhelming, when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to pray with you!
