Second Baptist Church

About this church

Second Baptist Church of Greater St. Louis worships at 10:30 a.m. Sundays in Richmond Heights. Sunday School begins at 9:15, and Karen-language worship meets in the library at 11:30. This progressive American Baptist congregation emphasizes God's love, acceptance, and grace rather than conformity or judgment. Members—including children and youth—read Scripture, lead prayer, make announcements, and participate actively in worship.

Nursery care for infants through age two is available from 9:00 to 11:45, and age-based church school begins at 9:15. Children's Church for prekindergarten through fifth grade operates during the main service, while Coffee Fellowship follows at 11:30. Adult learning, music, social-justice work, small groups, outreach services, and ministry teams broaden the community. Accessible parking is reserved on the north, Clayton Road side of the upper lot; visitors using lower lots should expect stairs. Families can pair Sunday School with worship, and Karen-speaking guests can transition from the main gathering to the dedicated library service.
