The Second Baptist Church of Washington, D.C.

About this church

The Second Baptist Church of Washington, D.C. gathers for Sunday worship at 11 a.m. at 816 Third Street NW, in the Mount Vernon Triangle area of downtown Washington. The events page lists the service as running until about 1:30 p.m. The congregation describes itself as a Bible-teaching church. Ushers greet visitors on arrival, and seating is open, so first-time guests can sit wherever they like. Services are also broadcast live on Facebook. The church was organized in 1848, and its Third Street building has been officially designated a historical site.

On Tuesdays from 6 to 7 p.m., a Bible Study and Prayer time is held by conference call rather than in person, and the call-in details are posted on the events page. The church describes five areas of focus: worship, fellowship, membership care, Christian education, and missions. Its education program is carried out through preaching, teaching, evangelizing, and missionary work. Children are welcome in the Sunday service, and a place for them to play is available if needed. The church office is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the phone number is 202-842-0233. Service and study times can change, so confirm them on the church's website before visiting.
